Shari Fabiani, Senior Vice President of Brands and Creatives, Timex Group said: “Timex has been a source of disruption for nearly 170 years, and has done the unthinkable. As Official Timex Officers of the Metaverse, we will challenge the notion that Timex has made forays into the Metaverse. Before, Timex integrates analog technology with the digital world in Fortnite, one of the most popular online multiplayer games in the world. We are now fully committed to gaming, adding immersive virtual experiences and entering Web3.”

The collaboration will be supported by a fully integrated campaign featuring in-game giveaways, game influencers Parker Locke, Sushi Bay, SypherPK, YouTube stars like Ali-A and Gen Z, and Fortnite fans. The world like partnerships with striker Landon Parker and others.

Landon Baker said, “For me, playing Fortnite is a useful time because it’s one of the ways I can be with my friends without worrying about all the superficial things getting in the way of communication.” I am very happy to partner with Timex. I love Timex and Fortnite watches, so for me this is the perfect combination. “

Race Against TimeX includes 6 mini-games, each of which puts players against time. Challenges include rising water, blocking walls, destroying floors, players avoiding chaining waves, finding ways to navigate perilous paths in the dark, and more. Players can purchase power-ups, and the cool watch provides special powers and other abilities to the player’s wrist, giving him extra speed and other abilities when trying to complete all six mini-games as quickly as possible.

Timex uses a proprietary VR hand-tracking feature to add a virtual Timex watch to each user’s avatar wrist, creating an official pre-show countdown partnership with Justin Bieber’s live, virtual and interactive concert for Wave, Megan on AmazeVR. The first to enter the Metaverse using an innovative partnership that includes the “Enter The Hottieverse” concert Thee Stallion VR tour. With this edition of Race Against TimeX, Timex is planning more initiatives, offering the most interactive virtual experience ever, and moving further from the top of the Metaverse.

Timex is working with best-in-class partners such as Metabrands™, the brand’s metaverse agency, Epic Games’ SuperAwesome, which has helped digitally engage GenZ players, and Beyond Creative, the leading developer of creative Fortnite games, to create “Race Against TimeX.”
