Antique Clock Makers

!±8± Antique Clock Makers

This article will cover some of the top antique clock makers on the market. An affordable elegant clock can be found for any budget. A lot of the older clock makers from the US were founded on the east coast near the founding states. Very valuable clocks are also known to come from around the world specifically France and Germany. Some of the most famous clocks come from the Black Forest region of Germany. There are many clock makers out there, and finding a clock from a very well known maker will usually cause the price to rise.

Sessions

A clock company based out of Connecticut, these were probably produced in the early 1900s. In the early 60s Sessions branched out to start producing quartz driven and electrical clocks. They later merged to become The New England Company. Around early 2000 the plant closed down but they had been producing beautiful clocks until then.

Howard Miller

This company was formed around 1925 by Howard C Miller. He learned his trade from his father who lived in the Black Forest region of Germany which is popular for producing beautiful artwork. They produced wall and mantel clocks until about the 60s when they switched their focus to larger grandfather clocks. This company is still producing today.

Ingraham

Ingraham started appearing in the early to mid 1800s. Another company based out of Connecticut, it was founded by Elias Ingraham who held many patents for clock parts and mechanisms. This company produced mainly wall clocks and mantel clocks until the recent decades when they shifted their focus to the more modern electronic clock and watch industry.

Waterbury

The Waterbury Company was created in 1857 and quickly became very popular across homes in America. They produced manly mantel and wall types for the typical American home. This company used a very wide range of mediums to make their clocks including wood, metal, ceramic and plastics. They are also known for creating the first Mickey Mouse watch for Disney. This company is still going after a few name change and ownership transfers under Timex Corporation.
