About Timex
Timex Group B.V. is an American watch company. Timex's U.S. headquarters is in Middlebury, Connecticut. 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.
In 1879 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex for the UK market. However, it did not sell under the name Timex in the U.S until 1950 with a pin-lever watch. 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".
Timex has a ton of fun commercials to prove their point. We're sure you won't be either. Get your own Timex watch at Brand Name Watch Auctions.
