The Waterbury Clock Company has its origins in a division of Benedict and Burnham, a leading Waterbury, Connecticut brass manufacturer who branched out into a variety of industries using brass in their manufacturing. The company was incorporated as a separate entity in 1857, and operated out of its parent company facilities until 1873. This site, to which it moved its operations, had previously been the site of one of Waterbury's earliest sawmills. The company met its greatest success in the 1890s, producing movements for popular dollar watches. Its fortunes declined after the First World War, and it removed from the city in 1944. It was renamed the United States Time Corporation that same year, and is now known as the Timex Group.
