BRIEF HISTORY OF CLINTON WRISTWATCH

Clinton Watches has a very poorly documented history.  The Clinton Watch Company was founded in 1922 in Switzerland by a immigrant Russian Jew named Wein. The company was passed down from father to son for several generations and was a major manufacturer of quality Swiss timepieces through the 1950's.

The Clinton Company ceased from manufacturing during quartz era when Japan made quartz watches flooded the market.

BRIEF HISTORY OF TIMEX WATCHES

Timex is a direct descendant of several important nineteenth-century American clock and watch manufacturers. Like our company today, they all specialized in durable yet affordable timepieces.... Timex has maintained market superiority since that time by introducing innovative designs and technology. 

Company History:

Timex Corporation has manufactured the largest-selling watch brand in the United States since the 1960s. Renowned for its sturdy but inexpensive timepieces, Timex distributes its watches through 100,000 outlets in the United States, as well as throughout the world. Noble Ancestors Timex evolved from three notable 19th-century clockmakers: the Waterbury Clock Company, a manufacturing firm established in 1857; the Waterbury Watch Company, founded in 1880, maker and seller of pocket watches on an international scale; and Robert H. Ingersoll and Brothers, also an international manufacturer and marketer of pocket watches since 1881. During World War I, a new timepiece--the wristwatch--became popular. Easier to use than the pocket watch, wristwatches were in high demand with soldiers for their convenience in battle. Both the Waterbury Watch Company and Ingersoll and Brothers marketed wristwatches during the war and afterwards when demand for the novel timepiece remained strong. Two Norwegian immigrants to the United States, shipbuilder Thomas Olsen and engineer Joakim Lehmkuhl--both of whom fled Norway after the German invasion of their country in 1940--founded Timex Inc. in 1941. They purchased the nearly bankrupt Waterbury Clock Company, seeking to aid the allied war effort by producing bomb and artillery fuses that utilized clockwork mechanisms. When World War II ended in 1945, Olsen, the majority shareholder, returned to Norway, while Lehmkuhl remained in the United States to run the company.
