I recall several years ago Time magazine mentioned Timex was owned by a reclusive Norwegian.
A Google search shows that in 1991 it was allegedly owned by Fred Olsen of Norway (http://www.irishnationalcaucus.org/pages/Articles1995/Don't%20Call%20Off%20Ford%20Boycott.htm) and that in 1967 it was allegedly owned by Joakim Lehmkuhi of Norway (http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/pubs/nas/volume24/vol24_10.html).
Suggest someone update this with more recent information about this well respected company.
[edit] Neutrality
Neutrality of article was comprised by claiming without citation that Timex was "well respected for...durable watches." The offending information has since been removed. 71.232.162.100 23:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I've never heard about a Swiss made Timex. I have watches made in China and Brazil. Also, they don't even have a website for UK and France, so there are probably lots of mistakes in this text.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Timex logo.png
Image:Timex logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] More things for cleanup
- How can an "American" company owned by a "Norwegan" company be a B.V. (Besloten Vennootschap)?
- Come to think of it: What's the real name of this company anyway?
- Timex Corporation appears to be a privately owned subsiduary of Timex Group B.V. see this article. CustardJack (talk) 16:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sentence fragments. Contained in the article.
