The New Haven Clock Company  started in 1853. They were incorporated to produce cheap brass movements for the Jerome Manufacturing Company.  Two years later, Jerome went bankrupt and The New Haven Clock Company purchased it. The company did well from the mid-1850's until the 1880's manufacturing complete clocks and also a line of inexpensive pocket watches, which were produced until 1956. The company made French clocks, regulators, wall clocks, cabinet clocks, calendar clocks, figurine clocks, and tall case clocks. New Haven  was one of the largest clock manufactures in America. Financial trouble finally caused operations to cease in 1959.
