"In the same way you offer to buy someone a Coke(R), the act of asking for the
time is a meaningful gesture -- a way of bridging differences, striking up good
conversation, and finding community," says Shari Fabiani, Senior Vice President
Brand Marketing and Creative for Timex Group. "We are dedicated to bringing
quality timekeeping to all and have always believed in making time for
community. We're thrilled to team up with Coca-Cola in their original message
of solidarity and continuing to inspire the world to sing together in perfect
harmony."
Colorful and commemorative, the three limited edition watches celebrate a
timeless message of love and harmony – just as relevant today as it was 50
years ago. Detailed with nostalgic 70s-inspired designs that evoke the spirit
of unity, the timepieces in this capsule are a cheerful reminder to embrace
opportunities for connection and move through the world with compassion.
-- The digital Timex T80 combines vibrant colors and a feeling of whimsy to
the design and celebrates a timeless message of love and harmony by
playing the iconic "Hilltop" commercial song: "I'd Like to Teach the
World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony)".
-- The classic Timex Standard boasts a bold, bright Coca-Cola logo that
brings a smile to the face of the watch – and its wearer.
-- Detailed with nostalgic 70s-inspired hues and designs, the beloved Q
Timex sports an iconic peace sign that evokes the spirit of unity and
love.
Set atop a hillside, the iconic Coca-Cola commercial features a diverse group
of young people singing in perfect harmony. The collection is reflective not
only of the era in which the commercial aired but conveys Timex's rallying cry
and WE DON'T STOP(TM) message of hope and a future where people around the
world can be brought together again to achieve a common mission of unity.
"In troubled times, small moments of joy can change the world. We learned this
half a century ago when, during an era of turmoil and division, the simple act
of sharing a Coke became a rally cry for tolerance and hope," said Kate Dwyer,
Senior Director of Global Licensing for Coca-Cola. "Now, we are proud to honor
the enduring spirit of our legendary 'Hilltop' commercial as part of the 1971
Unity Collection."
