TIMEX Ladies Watches


As you all probably know, the first wristwatches were worn by ...... women. In the early 1900's it was not manly enough to wear a small watch around one's wrist. The men kept to their pocket watches where the ladies were the early adopters of the watch we know today, the wristwatch. 

TIMEX has always had several ladies watches in their portfolio, making them an important target group. As a matter of fact, they have targetted the whole family. In the 60's TIMEX already labelled the Sprite series as Youngsters watches. 


TIMEX Collezione 1975

Cavatina Sport 1975


TIMEX released several Ladies series, such as the Cavatina, The High Fashion and the Prestige Collection. In contrast with the Men's series, which were classified by movement, water resistence or case size, the Ladies watches appealed to the time or the environment or situation in which they were used. Only the Ladies Electric series were an exception to this rule.
