Timex has always been about affordability.
When the Timex watch debuted in 1950 (from the then-monikered U.S. Time Company), jewelers wouldn’t carry the timepiece because of its low 50 percent markup. Other brands apparently offered 100 percent.
So the company began promoting its inexpensive tickers in drugstores and department stores, emphasizing their durability (“takes a licking keeps on ticking”) and low prices. Within a year, the company had captured 18 percent of the low-priced wristwatch market.
And here we are today: Timex remains not only wallet-friendly, but they offer a wide range of watches that work equally well in dressed-up or casual settings. And right now, they’re offering 30% off a selection of timepieces, although several styles have already sold out.
