I know you've heard of the Timex Ironman, perhaps the Atlantis - but what about the Humvee? Star Trek watches? Skiathlom? Alongside a more general introduction to the history of Timex and an overview of the key aspects of the business today - the focus of this video is vintage Timex digital watches from the 70s 80s and 90s as they compete with Casio for digital dominance. They had the indigo, but did you know they developed a pager integrated in a watch? That they have a significant heritage of digital watches in space? We also briefly consider the enigmatic Fred Olsen - the Norwegian Billionaire who is at the head of the company that owns the brand due to its relatives role in transitioning waterbury clocks and watches into United States Time Corporation and later Timex. We consider more briefly some of the mechanical contributions too like the Marlin, Spirte revisited recently by Todd Snyder and madmen style adverts for their conventional and electric watches. I hope you enjoy #digitalwatch #retro
