MIDDLEBURY, Conn. (March 24, 2021) — Timex®, a world leader in watchmaking, unveils its new brand campaign – WE DON’T STOP™. The slogan known around the world, “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking,” is getting a modern update that better expresses the outlook and mindset of the company in the 21st century. With the campaign’s debut, Timex unveils its new creative featuring notable change makers from around the world who display their resilience and are inspiring others through their actions, as well as supporting the #TOGETHERBAND campaign, through action and a charitable donation to further the “We Don’t Stop” mission and provide a platform for everyday heroes.
With this new campaign, WE DON’T STOP™ conveys a message of hope and resiliency as many around the world continue to persevere in the face of difficult circumstances. The campaign’s hero video, shot pre-COVID, now symbolizes a future where people can be brought together again, to achieve a common mission and celebrate each other’s achievements. This ethos serves as the inspiration for the video, which is overlaid with a special rendition of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” — a perfect encapsulation of what the campaign is all about, and how the brand is readying itself for whatever comes next.

“WE DON’T STOP is a natural progression for the brand,” says Tobias Reiss-Schmidt, President and CEO of Timex Group. “The campaign speaks to the resilience that we are all surrounded by – stories of grit, perseverance, ingenuity and heart – stories that strengthen us to carry on. WE DON'T STOP champions our everyday heroes and everything we have stood for over the past 167 years, without losing a step as we continue forward.”

This campaign is here to be more than an ethos at Timex; it provides a platform for all the stories out there that have inspired the company to keep going.
It is with that outlook that Timex has joined #TOGETHERBAND in driving awareness for this global campaign dedicated to creating a more equitable, peaceful and sustainable future for all.
