David Davis, Edward Howard and Aaron Lufkin Dennison (Known as the father of American watches) formed together the company that would later become the Waltham Watch Company. The revolutionary business plan was to manufacture the movement parts so precisely that they would become fully interchangeable.

Based upon the experience of earlier failed trials, Howard and Dennison would eventually perfect and patent their precision watch making machines and create the American System of Watch Manufacturing. In 1851, according to some sources, the company took the name "American Horologe Company" and production started in the new factory building. However, in October 1886, Waltham co-founder, Aaron Lufkin Dennison, in a letter to author Crossman, refuted the name and stated that the first Company name was the Warren Manufacturing Company, named for General Warren of Roxbury, a famous soldier of the War of Independence.

The word "watch" was specifically omitted to retain secrecy of the novel operation. In late 1852, the first watches were complete. The first 17 watches, which ran for 8 days, marked "Howard, Davis & Dennison" were distributed among company officials.

Number-1 given to Edward Howard resides in the Smithsonian Collection. Numbers 18 to 100 were named "Warren, Boston" and the following 800 "Samuel Curtis", after the financial backer. January 1853 saw the introduction of the P. Bartlett watch(named for an early employee Patten Sargeant Bartlett). In addition to using grade numbers, Waltham also used many grade names on their watches, often choosing the names of Board members, company investors, or other prominent individuals. The grade name basically designates the model and/or level of finish of the watch. Some of the more popular Waltham named grades were. Bartlett, Appleton Tracy & Co. William Ellery, Crescent Street, Colonial, Riverside, Central Park, Broadway, Royal E.

Robbins, Vanguard, Bond Street, Sterling, Premier, Royal, and Maximus. Gold-filled jewelry is much more valuable than gold-plated.

In fact, there is almost 100 percent more gold in gold-filled items than found in gold-plated items. Just as gold-plated jewelry is plated with gold, gold-filled jewelry is as well, but there is a big difference between the ways these products are made. Gold-filled is constructed in two or three plates The core metal is jewelers brass. Single clad gold-filled has all the gold content in a single layer on one side.

Double clad gold-filled splits the gold content into surface layers on both sides of the material. The gold alloy is then bonded to one or both surfaces of the brass core with heat and pressure. Given the age of the watch, the timing stated cannot be guaranteed, and further adjustments may be necessary to improve the performance stated.
