Salesmen of U.S. Time Corp. use a surprising trick to sell the company's watches. They
take the watches off their wrists and calmly throw them on customers' floors to show how
shock-resistant the watches are. The toughness comes partly from bearings of Armalloy, an
extremely hard alloy that U.S. Time uses in place of jewels. Says President Joakim
Lehmkuhl: "A jeweled watch can be a piece of junk just as a non-jeweled watch
can. With the modern metal alloys available, the role of jewels is much overemphasized.
Last week U.S. Time, the world's biggest producer of watches, announced a new line of
self-winding, Armalloy-bearing watches that can be thrown not only on floors but also
against Swiss competition With its new line, U.S. Time, which grossed about $60 million
for the year ended April 30, 1955, will swell production to well over 4,000,000 wrist
watches this year, including Timex and Ingersoll brands, Davy Crockett and Mickey Mouse
watches, all Sears, Roebuck's Tower brand and all Girl/Boy Scout watches. U.S. Time
watches sell for $22.95 or under because, says Lehmkuhl, "since there are more
Chevvies and Fords on the road than Cadillacs and Lincolns, the well-made, low-priced
watch will be dominating the market for some years.
