About Rockford Watch Co. Ltd

Located 93 miles west from Chicago on the Rock River, the Rockford Watch Company began operations in 1873. Beginning with purchasing equipment from the Cornell Watch Company. As well as, hiring two key employees from Cornell. P.H. Wheeler & C.W. Parker. The Rockford factory building was built in 1875-76.

Which led to their first watch, a key-wind, 18-size, full plate with expansion balance. It hit the local markets on May 1st, 1876. Hint. Hint. The one pictured above. Relatively low productions were made for these watches. But that was to ensure quality. Quality over quantity they say.

While this particular pocket watch is not Railroad Grade. Rockford is highly known for their Railroad Quality watches. And rightfully so. THREE Railroads ran through Rockford, Illinois in 1876. Providing a market too great to refuse. Unfortunately, financial difficulties struck this emerging company.

In 1915, after nearly 42 years in business, the company closed their doors. Even still, due to the quality of their watches, Rockford Pocket Watches are quite collectible and Vermillion Enterprises is always interested in purchasing them.
