The History of Timex Watches
The Timex brand has been around for nearly 80 years when it opened as the Waterbury Clock Company in 1854. It was one of the first brands to incorporate the sophistication of European clock making with American imagination and entrepreneurial spirit. It resulted in mass production which allowed the company to sell its watches at a much more affordable price point. The company grew quickly and in 1901 produced the Yankee Pocket Watch which cost ONE DOLLAR.
The company’s rich history also includes the 1958 slogan, “Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking” which kept the Timex brand in the spotlight as one of the sturdiest and most durable timepieces available. In 1977, the Timex model, Easy Reader, became known as “The New watch with the BIG numbers”, for easier readability. And by 1984, Timex introduced the world’s first sports watch with the Ironman model, which featured index hour markers, luminous hands, acrylic crystal for scratch resistance, water resistance, and a quartz mechanism.
And after all of these years, the Timex brand has continued its reputation as the creators of some of the highest quality, most attractive, and extremely affordable watch brands available. The Timex brand has stood the test of time, which is why there are millions of happy customers around the world.
