For nearly a century and a half, Timex and its corporate ancestors - Waterbury Watch, Robt. H. Ingersol & Bro., and US Time - have been manufacturing affordable, high quality clocks and watches for the American public. 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. Timex and its predecessors have spanned the entire epoch of American clock and watch making and the long waves of American Industrial and economic history.TMX Philippines, Inc. is a result of Far East Expansion program.
