Bored Apes Team Up with Luxury Watchmaker TIMEX to Create 500 BAYC Watches
The American-Dutch watchmaker TIMEX has stepped into Web3 with the help of Bored Apes NFTs. Now any proud owner of the most successful NFT collection, the Bored Apes Yacht Club, will be able to show off their owned Ape on a TIMEX timepiece.
To get one, NFT enthusiasts will have to mint a Timepiece Forge Pass NFT for two Ethereum (ETH), which equals nearly $2,600 at the time of this publication. Secondly, after the 500 Forge Pass NFTs are sold out, the NFT owners will be able to design their own timepieces on TIMEX’s website. To illustrate, crypto fans can choose etchings, straps, and cases. On top of that, every owner of the 500 Bored Apes Yacht Club x TIMEX watches gets an NFT identical to the owned timepiece.

The brand new Bored Apes NFT watch collection has been in the spotlight at Art Basel, the international art fair. Held in Miami Beach, the new TIMEX BAYC watches were presented in a private event called TIMEX Lunch. A couple of the models were shown during the event, while guests were able to purchase the Timepiece Forge Pass NFT for a pre-sale price.
Further on, CryptoVonDoom, a prominent member of the Bored Apes Yacht Club, was happy about the collaboration:
"As a part of the OG Bored Ape community, it's been dope to collaborate with the OGs of watchmaking", - he said. TIMEX’s Senior Vice President Shari Fabiani added:
“We are redefining and pushing the boundaries of physical, virtual, and now phygital products." Ultimately, real-life products accompanied by NFTs are gaining traction and might help revive the plunging NFT industry.
