BriefHistory: American Waltham Watch Company Including Serial Numbers and Production Dates. 1851- 1957 Waltham, Massachusetts. TheAmerican Waltham Watch Company had its beginnings in 1850 in Roxbury, Massachusetts. The company was founded by David Davis, Aaron Dennison, and Mr. Their vision was to form a watch company that could producehigh-quality watches at a lower cost using interchangeable parts. Withfinancial backing from Samuel Curtis, the first watches were made in 1850, butproblems were encountered. They were exploring new ideas in watchmanufacturing, such as using jewels, making dials, and producing plates with ahigh-level of finish which required extensive tooling and resulted in greatfinancial burden on the company. They also found that even though they wereusing interchangeable parts, each watch was still unique and had its own set oferrors to be corrected. It took months to adjust the watches to the point wherethey were any better than other widely available timepieces. In1851, the factory building was completed and the company began doing businessunder the name American Horology Company. The first watchesproduced went to officials of the company, and it was not until 1853 that thefirst watches were offered for sale to the public. The name was changed to”Boston Watch Company” in September 1853, and the factory in Waltham, Massachusetts was built in October 1854. The movements produced here (serialnumbers 1001 – 5000) were signed “Dennison, Howard, & Davis, “C. It was reorganized as Appleton, Tracy & Co. Andwatches 5001 – 14,000 were produced. The first movements carried the Appleton, Tracy & Co. In January, 1859the Waltham Improvement Co. And the Appleton, Tracy & Co. Merged to formthe American Watch Company. In1860, as Abraham Lincoln was elected President and the country found itself inthe throes of the Civil War, the American Watch Company was faced with seriousfinancial problems. By 1861, business had come to a standstill and bankruptcyseemed inevitable. The factory was kept in operation through these years bycutting expenses to the lowest possible level… A strategy that provedsuccessful. Accordingto the biography by Carl Sandburg, Abraham Lincoln owned and carried a WalthamWm. The watch was an 11-jewel, 18 size, keywind in asilver hunting case, and was produced in January of 1863. AmericanHorology owes much to the brilliant visionaries of the Waltham Watch Company. Bacon, Church, Dennison, Fogg, Howard, Marsh, Webster, and Woerd allcontributed greatly to American watchmaking. Walthamcontinued to manufacture watches until 1957. It is still possible to purchasemodern quartz watches that bear the Waltham name, but these watches are notrelated in any way to the “genuine” American Waltham Watch Company.
