How old are Waltham watches?
The American Waltham Watch Company is more than 150 years old. Aaron Lufkin Dennison established it in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1854. Today, people remember Dennison and his company for introducing the concept of interchangeable parts in watches. This innovation was a landmark in the history of watches, allowing timepieces to be manufactured more quickly. Explore a variety of American Waltham Watch Company watches on 1stDibs.
