BIO of Waltham Watches : The idea for the Waltham Watch Company came from watchmaker Aaron Lufkin Dennison. In 1833 he became a journeyman watchmaker in Boston, Massachusetts, leaving in 1839 to go into business for himself. In 1885 the company name changed to the American Waltham Watch Company. In 1907 the company name changed to Waltham Watch Co. and in 1923 briefly to the Waltham Watch and Clock Company and finally in 1925 to the Waltham Watch Company. The company closed its factory doors and declared bankruptcy in 1949. Before the Waltham Watch Company also founded a subsidiary in Switzerland, Waltham International SA. Waltham International SA retains the right to the Waltham trade name outside of North America, and continues to produce mechanical wrist watches and mechanical pocket watches under the "Waltham" brand. Waltham watches have many claims to fame and are indeed renowned for the high quality. Abraham Lincoln was presented with a William Ellery, key wind watch Waltham Model 1857. The 1937 Ford sedans had Waltham speedometers, reputedly the only speedometer in a Ford to display the name of its manufacturers. A tester at the time was quoted as saying that accuracy had to be "plus or minus 10 MPH".
