Timberland Watches

Timberland is a global leader in the manufacture of footwear, clothes and various accessories. Timberland products are preferred by those who lead an active lifestyle. The history of this global brand dates back to 1952, when Nathan Swartz bought most of the shares of a shoe factory Abington. Nathan Schwartz, who was born in Odessa, emigrated with his parents in the United States before World War II. For a long time, he worked as a shoemaker, continuing the family tradition.
After the acquisition of Abington company’s shares in over the next three years, he continued to study the production of footwear and look for new ways to improve products produced by him. Already in 1955, Schwartz acquired the entire stake, becoming the full owner of Abington. But Nathan was not enough, he did not want his company was one of many, and want it to become popular and famous.

In 1965 he succeeded in inventing a new technology that provides a seamless connection of sole and leather top that increased the water resistance of shoes. Naturally, this quality affected on the growth of the popularity of shoes that were manufactured in the factory of Schwartz. It should be noted that the first boots designed with the use of new technology, were yellow. It is known that they were made so on purpose, because in this color were clearly visible all their advantages. In addition there are two options, why this color was chosen. Factory Abington, that Nathan has acquired, in addition to production of shoes, was also involved in the production of boots for lumberjacks, and a bright yellow color was used for security purposes, that workers would not drop a log on each other's leg. Evidence of this version is the name of the company Timberland, which means "timber” and “land” and the logo of the brand in the form of American oak.

Another version, related to the color of boots, was told by grandson of Nathan. In his version, "a long time in the factory were talking, how to make a waterproof and comfortable shoes. One day my father brought home first boots for that my brother said, "I would not wear these shoes. They are not yellow! ". So it should be paid attention not only to their water resistance, but also to the color that it was also very important.
