Replying to my own comment because I'm wrong. I thought that Times came first and Times New Roman later, but according to this article from the New York Public Library, the typeface was designed only once (by Stanley Morison).

The metal punches were then created jointly by Linotype and Monotype, which each sold these under different names (and registered trademarks), Times by Linotype and Times New Roman by Monotype.
