“Time to get a new Timex, I’m afraid”.

When I was a kid, Timex used to run these commercials to demonstrate how durable Timex watches were. They would put a watch on a boat motor and run it for an hour and show it was still working. And they would always ask what time is it. Stuff like that.

One day they put the watch on a foot stool used by a Circus Elefant and had the Elefant stand on it. When the Elevant stepped off, they asked what time is it. And the guy was holding about a dozen pieces in his hand, and said “Time to get a new Timex I’m afraid.”

Look, it is not elefant, or elevant, or elehant, or elesant. It is elephant.

Here is the Timex live commercial where the watch fell of the prop. But they managed to show it ticking under water.
