The Timex Story

The Timex Watch Company

Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.

The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.

During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.

The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.

One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo® lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.

Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Runner's watch., January 23, 2010

By	R. A. Morris "comrades2008" (Powhatan, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Timex Unisex T5K373 ING NYC Marathon Ironman 150-Lap Sleek Watch (Watch)

This is my third Ironman style watch (2nd purchased on Amazon) and it is especially nice to have the controls in the same place so there's no need to get out the instruction book to figure which button works which function. The numbers are larger than my previous "OVA" style watch so that is an added plus. In fact, when I showed my new watch to my running buddy the first thing he said was "Wow, big numbers!" But the watch is not huge and I would rate it a medium size. With 150 laps it will more than fulfill my running needs. I typicall run 5 days per week and always time the run whether it is just overall, laps or intervals. I also use this watch daily at work where I need to record times so it gets used a lot. As per the most common complaint the integrated bands last only 2-3 years but when you're only paying $30 or so for the watch, that is completely acceptable. The buttons are large and easily usable with all but my heaviest gloves and the accuracy of the watch is right on as I check with the Naval Observatory about once a week. I can easily recommend this for runners and casual users for looks, ease of use and reliability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, January 30, 2010

By	Luke - Maine - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Timex Unisex T5K373 ING NYC Marathon Ironman 150-Lap Sleek Watch (Watch)

Perfect watch for what I wanted. Something comfortable, easy to use, multiple timer options, great alarms, large numbers, cheap and I happen to work for ING so that works too. Kind of a weird watch to wear in a professional setting but perfect for the gym, hiking, poker blinds, and everything else.

4.0 out of 5 stars timex ironman 150, April 3, 2010

This review is from: Timex Unisex T5K373 ING NYC Marathon Ironman 150-Lap Sleek Watch (Watch)

I have tried about three different sports watches. I like the ironmans from timex. This is my third. Inexpensive, dependable. The plastic/resin bands will eventually break, they last between two and three years, but so does the battery. My sports watches get scratched up a lot and after two or three years I want a new one anyway. I like the 150 the best; it has the largest display.
