Serial Number Lookups Hamilton Seth Thomas Seth Thomas Company Tower Clock Records, Thomaston, Connecticut. These volumes record the tower clocks produced and sold by the Seth Thomas Tower Clock Company from the years 1873 to 1941. This project has been generously funded by several NAWCC Members and Chapters. The documents are very large files; therefore, please. You enter the watches number into the apprpriate field, in the next window you'll see your model name, model number and serial number of your watch. This information should fully match the data on your watch back cover and instruction manual sheet - then you can then be rest assured that you're the owner of the fully legal product. The company 'Beguelin & Cie SA, Manufacture de Montres Damas et Tramelan Watch Co.' Is little recorded. In 'Swiss Timepiece Makers, 1775-1975' Kathleen H. Pritchard says the company was founded in 1903 although the company itself in adverts says 1902. For simplifying record-keeping and improving the accuracy of your documentation, our Two-Part Asset Labels are an ideal solution. These two-part serial number tags are designed to mark and identify assets with a serial number, your company name, and/or bar code and feature a second removable tab with a matching serial number to attach to your records for streamlined record-keeping.

New Jersey, as it would have appeared in 1895.
Trenton produced nearly two million watches, most of which were lower to mid-grade pieces in the 7-9-11 jewel range. Most of the watches produced were intended for the domestic market, but factory records indicate that some watches were produced for export to England around the turn of the century. Trenton was subsequently sold to Ingersoll in 1908.
Trenton-produced watches were marketed under a variety of brand names, including: Trenton, Ingersoll Trenton, Fortuna, Calumet USA, Advance Watch Co, Marvel Watch Co, Reliance Watch Co, Locomotive Special and Engineers Special. Both the Engineers Special and Locomotive Special were marked as 23-jewel watches, even though they had only 7 functional jewels... the others were fake and were entirely for appearance! Similarly, the watches sold under the Marvel Watch Co. brand-name were marked 23-jewels, even though all but 7 jewels were non-functional. Some of these 'fake jewel' watches can be quite collectible today.
Trenton also produced two 18-size fly-back chronograph models, both with 9 jewels. Based on a Grade 40 or 41 with chronograph modifications, the watches were produced in limited quantity, and these watches are considered to be quite rare and collectible today.
