About the Timex Group Timex Group B.V. is a well-known American watch company with headquarters in Middlebury, Connecticut, and significant operations in China, the Philippines, and India. The company also has sales companies in Canada, the UK, France, and Mexico. Timex has a rich history dating back to 1854 when it was known as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley. Its sister company, Waterbury Watch, manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. Timex Group has sold over one billion watches to date and remains a dominant force in the watch industry.

Historical Highlights During World War I, Waterbury began producing wristwatches, which were just gaining popularity. In 1933, the company made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney. The iconic slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking" was introduced in the 1950s, emphasizing the durability of the Timex wristwatch through a series of "torture tests", such as being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor. The Timex brand gained further popularity with the help of former Olympic broadcaster John Cameron Swayze.

Indiglo Backlight System One of the most successful features of Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Introduced in 1992, the Indiglo electroluminescent lamps uniformly light the surface of the watch dials, making them easy to read in various light conditions. The Indiglo backlight is a trademark of the Indiglo Corporation, exclusively owned by Timex for licensing purposes. This innovative feature continues to be a key selling point for Timex watches, with newer models having specialized film that illuminates only the numbers on the dial.

Global Dominance Timex continues to be a leading watch brand in the United States and Canada, known for its strong brand image and reputation for quality. Its products are manufactured in the Far East and Switzerland, utilizing technology developed in the United States and Germany. With a diverse line of watches, Timex offers a style for everyone, from sports to formal occasions. From the gym to the office, there is a perfect Timex watch for every lifestyle.
