A new timepiece can establish a great start to a new year, especially if you didn’t get your fancied wristwatch around the holidays. Maybe it’s better you didn’t, though, as the new Timex Waterbury world time watch is as stylish as it is sensible.

If you haven’t heard of Timex before, then allow us to introduce you. Timex’s affordable offerings have caught our eyes here at The Manual. Honestly, who can resist craftsmanship at price that doesn’t break the bank? Most recently, we covered the brand’s collaboration with Todd Snyder and the special 40th anniversary design, but Timex’s tradition of premier watchmaking is rooted in years of innovation and dedication.

What we know today as Timex first began as the Waterbury Clock Company in 1854, providing the people of Connecticut with everything from dollar pocket-watches to brass households clocks. Because they’ve been creating high-quality timepieces for over 160 years, you can bet the attention to detail and durability are up to par.

Like so many modern brands, Timex is now part of a European holding company, with licensing deals and multinational manufacturing. The good news is that, with a renewed focus on product and a design director with a zeal for the company archives, Timex is now churning out collectible pieces that won’t put a hole in your budget.
