Press Release Summary = Although many people are familiar with Timex's clocks and watches, fewer are aware of its military background.
Press Release Body = Timex watches have emerged from very humble beginnings to become the most popular watch manufacturer in the United States.
Initially founded to make 'timekeeping affordable for working class Americans', the company now boasts that one in three of all Americans own at least one of its products.
The 'Yankee' pocket watch is credited with making the brand famous. Costing just one dollar, it was worn by people all over the States including the novelist, Mark Twain.
Although many people are familiar with the company's clocks and watches, fewer are aware of its military background.
During the Second World War, it converted all of its factories to wartime manufacturing. It made a significant contribution to the war effort, shown by the fact that its factories produced more anti-aircraft fuses and high-quality mechanically-timed artillery than any other Allied source.
Perhaps it is appropriate then that the UK's leading manufacturer and distributor to the British Military PRI market should carry such a wide range of Timex watches.
Lansdale Ltd, sells Timex watches at discounted prices from its website and in many cases offers free postage and delivery.
Furthermore if you find a Timex watch that you like, the company will aim to dispatch your order within 24 hours of receiving it.
Lansdale focuses predominantly on Timex's digital watches from the 1440 Sports, Ironman and Expedition ranges. However, for a full product list and pricing information please visit:
