3592 The Dueber Hampden Story

The histories of most American watch factories of the nineteenth century reveal an inter-relantionship one with another. The history of the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company of Canton, Ohio is no exception. This company was the result of a logical, yet unique, consolidation of watch case and watch movement manufacturing enterprises. Oddly enough, the story of the two component units began in the same year, 1864.

3513 English Dial Clocks

This was the first book devoted to the dial clocks. The dial clock made its first appearance in the 1720s in the form of a simple round faced, black painted, spring driven clock. In contrast the cartel clock, with a highly carved and decorated case, was taken from the French design but made only a brief impression on high fashion. A more successful form was the imposing tavern clock which evolved through several very attractive forms, all of which are now much sought after.
