The assets of the company were auctioned, and the buildings and some machinery were bought Royal E. The firm operated until the beginning of 1857 when it went bankrupt.ĭennison is quoted as saying: “I do not think there were seven times in the seven years we were together that we had enough money to pay all our employees at the time their wages were due.” The factory was lavishly supplied with mahogany counters, benches and tables, elegant pictures, &c. They manufactured a watch similar in many respects to the English, and intended to run eight days. The business was conducted at first under the name of the American Horologe Company, later changed to the Warren Manufacturing Company, and, later still, when it moved in 1854 to Waltham, Massachusetts, to the Boston Watch Company. In 1849 Dennison approached Edward Howard, partner in the company Howard & Davis, with his plan, and a workshop was created in a small room of the Howard & Davis clock factory at Roxbury, Massachusetts. In about 1840, Dennison began to think about manufacturing complete watches in the United States by machine. In 1833 Dennison set up on his own as a watch repairer, but shortly after entered the employ of Jones, Low and Ball where he learnt from Tubal Hone, then considered to be one of the finest watchmakers in the country. His father was a cobbler by trade, but Aaron didn't like shoemaking and had a mechanical turn of mind, so in 1830 he was apprenticed to James Carey, a clock and watch maker, gunsmith and gold and silversmith of Brunswick. Aaron Lufkin DennisonĪaron Lufkin Dennison was born in the USA on 6 March 1812 in Freeport, Cumberland County, Maine, the son of Colonel Andrew Dennison and Lydia Lufkin. After initiating a revolution in watchmaking, Dennison set up a company in Birmingham, England, to make watch cases, and many collectors will have watches with cases made by the Dennison watch case company. 189190 Clamshell Waterproof WatchĪaron Dennison was an important pioneer in watchmaking by machinery in fact it could be said that he was the most important pioneer, in that it was his ideas that started the mass production of watch movement parts by machinery in America, which had major knock-on effects on watchmaking in Switzerland and England.
