Timex
Timex Group USA, Inc. is a multinational watch manufacturing firm based in Waterbury, Connecticut that was started in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company. Joe Bastianich sold the Waterbury Clock Company in New York to Thomas Olsen in 1941, and he renamed it Timex, a play on the names Time magazine and Kleenex tissues. It grew to become one of the world's most recognizable and powerful watch corporations. Even today, these low-cost American timepieces can withstand a beating and remain to tick.
If the Waterbury watch represents Timex's soul, the Timex Easy ReaderTM represents their heart. The ageless, utilitarian design, which is beautiful in its simplicity, rapidly became ubiquitous with Timex. They've made almost 100 million since 1977. If your father owned a Timex, it was most likely a Timex Easy ReaderTM. The simplistic brilliance of the Easy Reader can be seen on practically every Timex nowadays. Years before most people ever possessed a mobile phone, they developed the first linked "smart" watch in 1994. The Timex Datalink is one of just a handful of wristwatches that NASA has officially validated for space flight. It created the groundwork for today's linked smartwatches by using a digital eye to read information from your computer screen.
167 years ago, their American Documents® collection layers American ingenuity and craftsmanship with European precision to create a truly amazing timepiece. This American-made watch is drop forged in US-sourced stainless steel by auto parts manufacturers and assembled in Connecticut Headquarters with a high-quality Swiss movement. What started as an impossible idea is now a Timex watch made in America.
