Timex captures the spirit of classic American style and affordability with the launch of the latest
collection.
"Our collection this season pays tribute to the latest runway trends in a classic and accessible
way," says Kristine Lumpinski, Vice President of Marketing for Timex. "In addition to
collections such as the Timex SL Series(TM), which brings luxury materials and functionality to
an affordable price point, we're also offering a variety of on-trend watches in the $35-$75 range
in time for fall fashion."
This fall Timex introduces new timepieces, including extensions to the Sport Luxury Series,
Crystal, and Retrograde collections - all compatible with the hottest fall fashion trends.
Fashion inspired by the 1980s takes center stage this season. The Timex SL Series(TM) Sun-
Moon collection features a slightly oversized dial and colorful leather strap options, evoking
nostalgia for bold, statement-making fashion. The multi-function movement and sun-moon
display offer a touch of sophistication and 80s-style decadence. This collection ranges in price
from $120 - $145.

Sequins and shine are getting their moment in the spotlight - with daywear. Right in step with
this trend, Timex has expanded its Crystal offerings to include an elegant Timex SL Series(TM)
timepiece with two rows of genuine Swarovski(R) crystals on the bezel, sunray dials, and
bracelets available in stainless steel or leather bands with a subtle metallic finish. This collection
ranges in price from $150-$175.
Men are returning to heritage fabrics and classic tailoring. The Timex SL Series(TM)
Chronograph speaks to this trend, with a multi-textured, oversized dial and a rich color scheme
of brown, black, silver, and rose gold-tone. The collection is available in stainless steel bracelets
and genuine leather straps. It ranges in price from $150-$200.
Men are also putting modern twists on the heritage movement with "geek-chic" and sportswear-
inspired details. Timex hits both trends with its iconic digital watches in gold, silver and two-
tone ($40), and with new offerings from the Retrograde collection. These watches are bold and
sporty, available in brightly-colored rubber straps with a leather inlay, as well as in black ionic
plating with rose gold-tone accents. This collection ranges in price from $90-$100.
Fashionistas everywhere are embracing the simplicity and affordability of classic American
style. The fall collection from Timex also revisits a variety of favorites from seasons past,
including the military-inspired Camper ($35), delicate dress watches for women ($40), and the
Easy Reader(R) watch with a stainless steel expansion band ($55).

style tips to women through her blog and Web videos on TimexStyle.com.

TIMES OF INDIA
The Times of India (TOI) is an English-language daily newspaper in India. It has the largest
circulation among all English-language newspapers in the world, across all formats (broadsheet,
tabloid, compact, Berliner and online).[1][2] It is owned and managed by Bennett, Coleman & Co.
Ltd. which is owned by the Sahu Jain family.

In the year 2008, the newspaper reported that (with a circulation of over 3.14 million) it was
certified by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (India) as the world's largest selling English-
language daily newspaper, placing as the 8th largest selling newspaper in any language in the
world.[3] According to the Indian Readership Survey (IRS) 2010, the Times of India is the most
widely read English newspaper in India with a readership of 70.35 lakhs (7.035 million). This
ranks the Times of India as the top English newspaper in India by readership.[4] According to
ComScore, TOI Online is the world's most-visited newspaper website with 159 million page
views in May 2009, ahead of the New York Times, The Sun, Washington Post, Daily Mail and
USA Today websites

The Times Of India was founded on November 3, 1838 as 'The Bombay Times and Journal of
Commerce' In Mumbai,[5] during the British Raj. Published every Saturday and Wednesday, The
Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce was launched as a semi-weekly edition. It contained
news from Britain and the world, as well as the Subcontinent. The daily editions of the paper
were started from 1850 and in 1861, the Bombay Times was renamed The Times of India. In the
19th century this newspaper company employed more than 800 people and had a sizable
circulation in India and Europe. It was after India's Independence that the ownership of the paper
passed on to the then famous industrial family of Dalmiyas and later it was taken over by Sahu
Shanti Prasad Jain of the Sahu Jain group from Bijnore, UP.

India's press in the 1840s was a motley collection of small-circulation daily or weekly sheets
printed on rickety presses. Few extended beyond their small communities and seldom tried to
unite the many castes, tribes, and regional subcultures of India. The Anglo-Indian papers
promoted purely British interests. Robert Knight (1825–1892) was the principal founder and the
first editor of the Times.

The son of a London bank clerk from the lower-middle-class, Knight proved a skilled writer and
passionate reformer. Knight helped create a vibrant national newspaper industry in British India.
When the Sepoy Mutiny erupted, Knight was acting editor of the Bombay Times and Standard.
He broke with the rest of the English language press (which focused on Indian savagery and
treachery) and instead blamed the violence on the lack of discipline and poor leadership in the
army. That angered the Anglo community, but attracted the Times's Indian shareholders, who
made him the permanent editor. Knight blasted the mismanagement and greed of the Raj,
attacking annexation policies that appropriated native lands and arbitrarily imposed taxes on
previously exempt land titles, ridiculing income taxes, and exposing school systems that
disregarded Indian customs and needs. Knight led the paper to national prominence. In 1860, he
bought out the Indian shareholders and merged with the rival Bombay Standard, and started
India's first news agency. It wired Times dispatches to papers across the country and became the
Indian agent for Reuters news service. In 1861, he changed the name from the Bombay Times
and Standard to the Times of India. Knight fought for a press free of prior restraint or
intimidation, frequently resisting the attempts by governments, business interests, and cultural
spokesmen
