Timex retro digital watches light up the high street in 2010
Timex are one of the oldest watch companies outside of Switzerland. The American watch giant has been at the heart of American culture for more than 100 years. First producing pocket watches for the railways, the Timex watch brand sits in the affordable end of the watch market creating watches that are both functional and cost effective.
The latest fashion trends in 2010 have seen the watch market move away from haute couture fashion houses such as D&G, DKNY and Emporio Armani and move towards brands like Timex, Casio, Toy and Ice Watch. The reason for this is that 80’s fashion is back and bigger than ever - every fashion magazine is giving men and women fashion tips on how to pull of the 80’s look in 2010. This 80’s revival has meant that some of the most popular brands of the 80’s, such as Casio and Timex are once more back in fashion and they are taking on the designer watch brands, being seen on fashionable wrists everywhere.
The 80’s were all about digital watches and Timex and Casio thrived in this period, now Timex are once more taking advantage of fashion trends by re-launching some of their most popular 80’s styles in a range of watches, with a range aptly named ‘80’. The original T78677 was so popular that it was even featured in the 80’s classic film ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day off’.
As a fashion tip the T78677 could not be anymore ingrained in 80’s fashion and style if it tried. As a testimony to this, the T78677 was recently featured in Glamour Magazine
The ‘new but old’ Timex 80 fashion collection also boasts a large range of plastic strapped watches which can come in any number of bright colours from purple, blue or even rainbow - which has a multi coloured case and strap. Timex really have brought 80’s watch fashion back in to style with the new Timex 80 range. One of the real bonuses to this range of designer watches from Timex is the price – all watches in the range cost less than £50 – if you search some of the big fashion online stores you will find them at much, much less than that even. It’s safe to say that Timex could be any happier with the fashion world right now, and it’s definitely going to be a busy year for stockists of the Timex 80!
