California-based jewelry Designer Jacquie Aiche’s Timex collaborations neatly combine art, jewelry, and the science of horology. Each watch, each drop, is a miniature work of art housed on the watch’s dial. Today marks the release of the Timex X Jacquie Aiche Desert Daze watch. The dial features a still-life cactus poised against a sunset. The artwork uses a pink and blue Mother-of-Pearl mosaic highlighted with faceted Austrian crystals.

If fashion influencers are supposed to be trend setters, why do they look and dress alike?. Where’s the originality? You scroll through their social media, and they’re interchangeable.
