Although my primary wristwatch is a Rolex, I also proudly wear my Timex Boy Scout watch, which my parents gave me as a gift when I joined the Scouts in 1955.
Badass
I bought a collection of 1960's-70's Timex watches. To me it's not about how much I could sell it for, it's about the history of each piece and the old styles that I love. To think about all these watches have seen is what fascinates me. Videos like this just further that drive to dig into the rich history of watches.
@ZBS Excellent thought! Oh, the stories a watch could tell ..
Great video. Some of my friends make fun of my Timex watches. They're beholden to designer watches, and I tell them that Timex watches are worth their weight in the watch collecting world. You can't say that so much with designer watches. Thanks for sharing. 🙌 ⌚
Well said! Most people who don't respect companies like Timex don't have a grasp on how important their horological history is. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching 👍
Back in the 80s; as an middle school kid, my mom bought me a Timex Atlantis 100. I loved that watch so much I wore it up until 94 until I accidently hit the face on a door handle and spiderweb cracked the face. Me at the time just tossed it because I figured it was worthless. To this day I wish I would have kept that watch and just got it fixed. Fast forward to about a week ago, I found the exact same model and year of the watch I had. So I paid 100 bucks (EBAY) for it and it is almost in excellent condition. I have a Citizen, Tag, Tissot, Casio and this Timex is the one I love the most.
Im from 🇵🇰 and im using timex expedition watch from 20 years. It is really durable, accurate and affordable 🎉🎉
The History of Timex production in Portugal in 1970 is still very interesting. To work on it at the time was my great challenge. It is a fantastic watch and a marvelous world organization.
thanx for the overview..
im not deep into timex as a brand, but
love my older triathlon ironman watch (94).
very light to wear and 100m water resist.
@lars-fenin

@@TimesTicking allright ..thanx for the link
I collect nothing but Timex and their new Q and Marlin reissues are awesome. Timex was my first watch and now at 50 Timex watches will be my last watch. I am currently wearing my pepsi bezel Q and treat it like a rolex.
Great historical presentation, bruh.....
*Right on!*
Timex ❤❤ indiglow function is very helpful ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍
I haven't worn a wristwatch for years. Today I bought two Timex watches. Back to wearing watches again. Sadly I went to two stores where they used to sell wristwatches, but no longer do.
You mention other non-watch endeavors during the war years. But don’t forget the Timex Sinclair computers in the 1980s. It was really just a Timex label on a product developed by a totally different company, but it was part of the company’s business for years. “The first computer under $100” :-)
You’re going to blow up eventually , very nice video
@Pixininja Too kind, thank you!
I got a Timex watch I love it thanks for the history on them!
@ Stephen H. Cummings You're welcome!
Love them. I actually have that same vintage watch from the first picture of the video. It’s a 1964 windup that unfortunately stopped working.
My first watch was a timex 1964 .l was 10. Gold rectangular. I overwound it. 😢
Timex should seriously consider doing a luxury line and stamp it “Waterbury”.
This was a well-done, very informative piece. It's a shame it hasn't gotten more views since it went up, but it's a great video nonetheless.
Thank you! Too kind :)
Fun and informative! Great work mate!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers 🥂
Great video! Best one on timex !
Killer video, under appreciated!
Thank you very much!
I love TIMEX wrist watches! I have 3 pcs! ❤

I visited Scotland shortly after the strike. They were still upset
Thank you! Great video :D
WHAT model is that bad boy in the thumbnail. !!!??
Did the company supply the Wehrmacht? I saw German helmets!
I was interested in manufacturing operations, where are the watches made but not a lot of info

I got the timex, but i cannot see the review of TWOOOX121E-66 i want this review
@Arjay Salurio Just thinking, maybe you can buy the watch and put up a review for everyone?
First like 👍
@Johnathan Burrows Thanks for watching! :)
Not missiles! fuses for artillery rounds.
@Shane Simpson Okay! 😊
Probably the worst strategical name I ever hear. I thought it was a watch from mexico. Still will not buy a timex that name its garbage
@VDO FX Strategically, the Timex brand and the name they had chosen went on to sell more watches than any other brand in the world. Seemed like a good decision, possibly. Either way, thanks for watching! 👍
