The Return of the Famous $1 Watch
Timex is celebrating its 170th anniversary by bringing back a special version of its famous $1 watch. This is a nod to its roots as the Waterbury Clock Company. This release is a tribute to Timex's famous Yankee pocket watch, which was the company's first wristwatch and cost $1. This one-of-a-kind watch will only be sold at Level 2 Main Mall at the SM Mall of Asia Metro Manila on November 16, 2024. Only 100 people will be able to buy this iconic piece of history.
Timex Philippines Marketing Director Paulo Santos said, "We're putting out the Timex 170th Anniversary Watch for just $1 to honor our long history and thank our loyal customers." It's how we honor the past while looking forward to the future with great anticipation.
Brand narratives and working with influencers
Collaborations with well-known influencers were also highlighted at the event. For example, travel writer Daniel Marsh talked about his love of exploring and how Timex has always been with him on his trips. Influencers like TikTok star Andrea So, Eya Borja, and others were there to spread the brand's message of appreciating the little things in life.
Taking pleasure in the analog life
Timex sent a strong message when it praised the present and showed off its newest collection: in a world full of digital distractions, it's important to stop and enjoy the simple, real moments. Timex wants everyone to slow down, regain the appeal of living an analog life, and take control of their time.
