Expert Watch Repair
The Rockford Watch Company was founded in 1873 in Rockford, Illinois, after the city won a competitive bid to attract the industry to its community, spurred by the city’s access to railroads and its central location. The company began producing high-quality pocket watches in 1876, specializing in fine railroad-grade timepieces, which were essential for the safe and punctual operation of trains.
Rockford watches were well-regarded for their durability and accuracy, with innovations that included unique jewel settings and a range of sizes and styles tailored to various professional and personal needs. The company enjoyed moderate success and developed a strong following among watch collectors for its meticulously crafted watches. However, despite its reputation for quality, the Rockford Watch Company struggled with financial stability and eventually ceased operations in 1915, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship in American horology.
