As popular as ever, the Timex Easy Reader continues to be one of the mostrecognizable watches around. Simplistic design allows this watch to be wornfor any occasion. Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watchcompanies. Timex’s U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut andit has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and fullscale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.The company beganin 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut’s Naugatuck Valley, known during thenineteenth century as the “Switzerland of America.” Sister company WaterburyWatch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880.During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only justbecome popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouseclock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey’s hands pointing thetime.During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next threedecades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasizedits durability by putting the watch through “torture tests,” such as fallingover the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboardmotor, with the slogan “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.” With thehelp of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales tookoff. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, todate, has sold over one billion watches.The company has remained verycompetitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day.Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timexbrand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brandimage and reputation for quality.One of the most successful and importantfeatures available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system.Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex forlicensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, wereintroduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success.The Indiglo lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timexs watch dials in amanner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings.In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, ratherthan the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized filmthat inverts the LCD transmissivity.Today, Timex Group products aremanufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology thatcontinues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a largeand varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the lockerroom to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.
