Time - Watchmakers & their watches

A brief history...with some interesting facts thrown in

 

Ingersoll

 

In 1880, 21 year old Robert Ingersoll & his brother, Charles set up a dollar-a-time mail order company. By 1892 the company launched a dollar-and-a-half Universal pocket watch (about a tenth of the price of contemporary watches).

By 1895 the dollar watch, the Yankee, was created. In 1905 the founder sailed to England to launch the Crown for 5 shillings.

• After the Wall Street Crash of 1929 Ingersoll Limited was launched as a British public company.

• Famous watches include the Boy Scout watch
