Timex Men's T5K588 Ironman Sleek 250 TapScreen Full-Size Black Resin Strap Watch
Description
It’s the perfect everyday watch, if you’re always running. Designed to shave
seconds off the clock with TapScreen Technology and sonic alerts to help you
keep pace, without breaking your stride. 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. P.when(‘A’).execute(function(A) {
