Each of these companies were important innovators in their day, enjoying the same kind of success that Timex has known since the 1950’s. In the 1990’s, Timex is the only surviving independent watch manufacturer in America. Our inheritance - an enduring legacy of change and innovation - is an important advantage as we advance toward the next century.
