Timex is an American watch company founded in 1854 in Waterbury, a city in Connecticut. Originally known as Waterbury Clock Company, the company produced inexpensive wooden clocks. In the 1940s, the company adopted the name Timex, inspired by the combination of the words "Time" and "Kleenex". Timex watches became famous for their durability and affordability, earning the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking".
