A LITTLE HISTORY :
The Seth Thomas Clock Company was very prosperous into the 20th Century
and was considered the “Tiffany’s of Connecticut clock manufacture,
even by their competitors.
Between 1865 and 1879 they operated a subsidiary firm known as
Seth Thomas' Sons & Company that manufactured a higher-grade 15-day mantel clock
movement and during that period were major supporters of a New York sales outlet
known as the American Clock Company.
They also became a major manufacturer of tower and street clocks after 1872 and in
between 1915 were manufacturers of jewelled watches.
