Fossil has unveiled its new “Machine Luxe” capsule — an exclusive collaboration with Nick Jonas that reimagines the classic watch with a modern edge.

But this collection is more than just design: it’s personal. Nick has been a Fossil fan since receiving his first watch from the brand as a child. This partnership feels more like a tribute than just another marketing move.

The campaign visuals speak for themselves. Shot in New Jersey, his hometown, the images explore diners, bowling alleys, and familiar local spots that awaken that warm, Americana nostalgia. The styling is clean, timeless, and effortlessly aligned with Nick’s own aesthetic.

Machine Luxe: the collection

The capsule includes limited-edition watches and watch rings, reinterpreting Fossil’s signature “Machine” line with elevated finishes and unique details. Every piece feels purposeful, balancing functionality and visual impact.

Sunray Dial
Features a sunray finish in gradient blue and gold tones, adding depth and elegance. One standout model includes a brown crocodile-embossed leather strap — a personal request from Nick.

Automatic
A more technical piece with a skeleton dial revealing its automatic movement. Available in gunmetal and gold tones, it’s perfect for those who love mechanical details.

Stone Dial
Perhaps the boldest and most visually rich of all. These models use natural stones like malachite, aventurine, and marble for their dials, making each piece one of a kind. The signature knurling texture extends from the bezel to the bracelet for a bold, dressed-up look.

Watch Rings
An unexpected touch: miniature watches reimagined as rings. Available in gunmetal and green vignette, they’re small but bold statement pieces full of character.

Design, materials, and identity

What ties the entire collection together is the use of knurling — a tactile, textured pattern. Combined with rich metals, natural materials, and carefully chosen color palettes, the result is a perfect blend of vintage and modern energy.

The collection feels masculine, yes, but also fluid: it’s easy to picture a woman wearing any of these pieces with an oversized blazer or even a structured dress.

And that’s the magic: bold, but versatile.

The collection is already available at Fossil stores and on its official website, and is expected to arrive at select premium retailers internationally in September. As a limited edition, each piece holds special value for fans and collectors alike.

Nick Jonas’s genuine connection to the brand adds authenticity. Personalized touches — like natural stones and specific color combinations — make every watch tell its own story. It’s a fusion of memories, style, and accessible luxury.

It’s a conversation between past and present, a way of turning emotion into design. For those who live fashion as a form of personal expression, this is a chance to wear a piece with soul — whether on your wrist or your finger.
