Dow Jones Description
DETEX CORPORATION has its origins in a predecessor company established in the 1870's by A. A. Newman to manufacture and sell stationary watchclocks. Thus, DETEX has observed over 100 years of involvement in the Watchclock industry through the Detex Newman Watchclock, still an integral part of our product line. In 1923 the Newman Clock Company was consolidated with Watchman's Clock and Supply Company, Eco Clock Company, and the Watch Clock Division of Hardinge Brothers, Inc. and adopted the name NEWMAN WATCHCLOCK CORPORATION. A few months later the name was changed to DETEX WATCHCLOCK CORPORATION to emphasize to existing Hardinge and Eco users that the company wasn't the old Newman Clock Company. Through a series of product improvements over the years, the company modernized its mechanical watchclock line. Now there are 4 models: The GUARDSMAN tape model, with the capability of continuous registration up to 96 hours; the NEWMAN Watchclock, a 24 hour dial model; the SAF-T-CHEK, a stationary clock with a 7 day dial registration, and the NEWMAN Quartz, a 24 hour dial model with quartz movement. Detex remained principally a manufacturer and distributor of Watchman's Clock Systems until 1963, when it first introduced a new line of security hardware products and entered the builders hardware field. These products are designed primarily for use in the control of exits and entries in industrial, commercial, institutional and educational buildings...
