Goodhood worked in conjunction with [Timex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-urban-pop) once again to introduce the latest iteration of the [MK1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-and-fortnite) watch -- this time, the duo looked to cult journalism podcast 'S-Town.' The custom timepiece celebrates the podcast through a series of text that reads "Nil boni hodie" and "Diem perdidi," which means "nothing good today, a wasted day."

In terms of the watch's design, it is complete in predominantly black hues, along with bright shock pink and white. It is encased in a 36mm resin shell and features a [special Japanese Quartz movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-timex-1972). Additional details include a grosgrain nylon wrist strap and water resistance of up to 30m. The new collaborative MK1 watch is now available for purchase online at Goodhood.
