It's a Time Thing-- Part 2: Timex Turns 160

From the October 12, 2014, Parade Magazine "Advances in Time."

Iconic American watchmaker Timex marks its marks its 160th anniversary this year.  Look back at its stylish influences over the years--and enter for a chance to win a watch from the new Waterbury collection at www.parade.com/timex.

This is the only watch I wear.  I have one on right now, a $9 digital screen.  The only time I have ever used my cell phone to check the time is when I forgot to put the watch on.

1933:  The Mickey Mouse watch made timepieces fun for all ages.

1959:  Timex's women's watch turned timekeeping into a fashion statement.

1986:  The "Ironman Triathlon" gave watches a rugged new reputation.

2014:  The "Waterbury" pays homage to the watchmaker's timeless legacy.
