Watch Description
Timex was founded in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company. The brand became renowned for how its movements were smaller and more accurate than any movements that came before it. By 1901, Timex was producing pocket watches for an incredibly affordable price, making them far more accessible to many people. The brand adapted its watches to be worn on the wrist and never looked back. The success of Timex wristwatches was phenomenal and by the 1960s, every third watch sold in the United States was a Timex watch. Timex has continued to adapt and change with the times and now produce a wide range of watches for men, women and children in a wide variety of styles.
