Timex Pocket Watch

With sales over one billion watches since the watches were first introduced in nineteen fifty, no other watch manufacturer has matched the operation of Timex. The parent company of Timex was founded long before the first Timex was introduced, dating back to eighteen fifty four as the Waterbury Clock company in Connecticut. The early watch shop featured only pocket watches with wrist watches not becoming popular until the early nineteen hundreds.

Pulsar Watch History

Not from the Swiss but from an American manufacturer, the Pulsar helped to revolutionize how people felt about the humble wrist watch. Born out of the explosion microelectronics technology that occurred during the nineteen seventies, Pulsar quite literally changed the face of timekeeping.

Up until the nineteen seventies, the analog watch face dominated the design of wrist watches. Then in nineteen seventy two the Hamilton Watch company introduced a watch that thoroughly abandoned the original notions of the analog timepiece. Totally electronic and featuring digital time readout, the Pulsar was not immediately approved by the public. The digital readout was made inherent by the invention of the light emitting diode or Led.

A product of electronic miniaturization the Led can now be found in all things from automotive taillights and household appliances to spacecraft. The original benefit of the Led is the ability to emit a relatively strong light stream while captivating far less power than any type of vacuum gas lighting.

The nineteen seventies were a time of great excitement and focus on the victorious exploration of the moon and other space achievements. The name Pulsar was taken from an astrological term used to characterize the intense bursts of radiation produced by collapsing neutron stars in deep space. Like a pulse of light, the face of the watch was descriptive in daylight conditions and consumers gradually warmed to the modern look of the Pulsar. Since the introduction of the first Pulsar, the look has shifted back to the more original analog face design combined with the reliability of an electronic quartz movement that has given the Pulsar a well-deserved reputation for accuracy.

Newer models of the Pulsar highlight superior watch styling at a price that is very accessible to the average watch buyer, though the Pulsar has never comprised on accuracy and reliability.
