ROCKFORD WATCH CO.
Rockford, Illinois
1873 – 1915
The Rockford Watch Company’s equipment was bought from the
Cornell Watch Col, and two of Cornell’s employees, C.W. Parker and P.H.
Wheeler, went to work for Rockford. The factory was located 93 miles
from Chicago on the Rock Rover. The first watch was placed on the
market on May1, 1878. They were key wind, 18 size, full plate
expansion balance and dials made by outside contract. By 1877 the
company was making ¾ plate and nickel movements that fit standard steel
cases. The factory was located on the Railroad lines, and they
always advertised the Railroad. The company had some problems in
1896, and the name changed to Rockford Watch Co Ltd. It closed in
1915 with pocket watch production serial numbers reaching over one million.
