In Waterbury, Connecticut in 1854, brass manufacturer Benedict & Burnham created the Waterbury Clock Co. to manufacture clocks using brass wheels and gears. Less than 30 years later, a sister company by the name of Waterbury Watch Co. was created and would become the largest volume producer of watches in the world by 1888.
A little over 40 years later, that company would become Timex – the world’s largest manufacturer of watches and mechanical time fuses. To celebrate the Waterbury, Connecticut beginnings, Timex created the Waterbury Collection of timepieces.
Today, we’re looking at a Timex Waterbury Chronograph.
In 1854, Timex, then known as the Waterbury Clock Company, introduced brass as a new material for clockmaking and developed a $6 clock that nearly everyone could afford. Almost 50 years later they did it again with the $1 pocket watch, said to be the “watch that made the dollar famous.”
They’ve continued to innovate over the years (INDIGLO, anyone?) and have never lost sight of their dedication to make affordable, quality timepieces. So when you strap on your new Waterbury, you’ll not only be paying tribute to the history of one of America’s greats, but also giving your wrist game a damn handsome upgrade.
Right now at Huckberry, you can get the Timex Waterbury Chronograph for just $88.98 (30% off).
