According to A Blog to Watch, this is due to a suggestion made to Galli to remind people of the mechanical nature of the piece, with a ruby bearing as decoration on an otherwise barren face.Ī double-dome sapphire crystal protects the face, which is a welcome upgrade to the mineral crystal typical of Timex watches. But at six o’clock is a curiosity - a synthetic ruby adorns the face. There’s not much for lettering either, just the brand’s name at the 12 o’clock position and the watch’s title in small font across the bottom edge. There are no numerals on the face, just simple markers. Reaching out are slim hands with lume applied to all, save the second hand. Looking at Timex’s website shows an almost matte-looking face, but don’t be deceived, as it’s a sunburst dial that looks out at you. While not the most expensive watch in Timex’s selection (that honor goes to the American Documents collection), it still comes in at a relatively fair price of $450, and it’s well worth it. After all, this piece is the unrestricted work of Giorgio Galli, senior designer at the labs in Milan. If I were to describe the S1 in as few words as possible, it would be to call it a love letter to watches.

To that end, we’ve compiled a list of the best Timex watches that will ensure you arrive on time and in style. Timex has kept its prices low to maintain competition, but also has some fine pieces that would look great on your wrist. But just because its watches are cheap doesn’t mean they’re bad. And indeed, budget is in the blood, as Timex, originally the Waterbury Clock Company, started by making watches cheaper than competing European brands while aiming to improve the quality. It’s that budget brand that sells watches at the Walmart jewelry counter. If you grew up in America, you probably wore a Timex wristwatch at some point or knew someone who did.
