History of Timex Watches
Timex has always been a name that is associated with quality reliable and long lasting watches. Since the 1960’s Timex has been at the top of the charts in sales in the US out selling all the other brands.
The first Timex was seen in 1949 and since that time Timex has been a contender for producing quality watches at affordable prices. One main reason this is so is that during this time, the majority of jewelers marked up the items sold to consumers 50%, however, Timex wanted their watches to be affordable, therefore they only allows the jewelers to place a 30% markup on their watches, thus staying below the prices of their competitors. In the beginning, many jewelers refused to sell the Timex watches. Timex was not about to give in and choose instead to sell their watches directly to other retail outlets such as hardware stores and drugstores.
By the early 1970’s Timex had to change their design of watches to keep up with new competitors in the digital market. In 1972, the first digital Timex hit the market. Of course, throughout the years, Timex has worked to stay ahead of their competitors with new innovative gadgets and styles to keep the masses happy and to allow their fans the chance to purchase well built reliable watches for less than the designer watches on the market. However, this does not mean that Timex watches are not just as luxury as the designer ones, only that they are less expensive.
Another great thing about Timex watches is they produce watches for everyone. They do not cater to only the diver, the woman, or the man. You will find a large array of watches for the entire family including the kids with their exclusive designs.
Today, the top ten Timex women’s watches include the 1440 sports Digital Purple T5K080, Round Black Leather Strap T20441, T Series Ladies Black Strap Mop Dial T2M710, Auto Strap White Dial T2M510, T Series Ladies Red Strap T2M709, T Series Ladies Lavender Strap Mop Dial T2M711, Park Ave A05 T2M494, Gold Mesh Bracelet Mop Dial Stainless Steel T2J921, R Series Ladies Dress Bracelet Silver Dial T2M558, and the Thin Round Gold Open Bangle.
The top ten Timex men’s watches include the Ironman Shock Solar 50 Lap Digital Watch T5J641, T Series Racing Black Strap T2M552, Gents Leather Retrograde T2M422, T Series Mens Perpetual Calendar Steel Bracelet T2M457, Expanding Altimeter Grey Res Orange Fab St T41531, Mens Auto Bracelet Black Dial T2M516, Mens Basic Round Watch T20041, Ironman Solar Twincept Orange Black Resin Fs T5G691, Retrograde Black Strap Black Dial W Orange T2M428, and the Expanding Rugged Field Black Dial Green T49626.
