TIMEX: STILL TICKING {CLASSIC COMMERCIALS 1959-1964: THE TELEVISION COMMERCIAL COMES OF AGE}
Summary
In this commercial for Timex, John Cameron Swayze visits Acapulco, Mexico, for a torture test to prove how waterproof a Timex watch really is. As Swayze looks on, high-diving champion Raul Garcia leaps into the sea from the top of Acapulco's renowned La Perla cliffs with a Timex strapped on his wrist. When he emerges from the water, his Timex is still ticking. "Is it any wonder that more people buy Timex than any other watch in the world?" Swayze asks.
