The miracle of the American “Industrial Revolution (1842–1885) was, for the most part, a direct result of the lessons learned from mass production experiments of early Pocket Watch manufacturing. Over 50 American watch companies were started, and many went bankrupt during this period to get it right. It was all about techniques, interchangeability, efficiencies, the elimination of human error, and unit cost reductions. It was during this period that perfection was finally achieved! The American “Industrial Revolution” of mass production for others (Smith & Wesson, Springfield Arms, Remington, and COLT) would not have been possible, and the world would be very different. Knowledge among collectors of these early watch companies is held in the hands of only a very few. Here is the story of one of these early American watch entrepreneurs!
