Lonville watches have a history tied to Swiss watchmaking, primarily as a brand associated with pocket watches in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a modern revival. 

Original Lonville (1873 onward)

•  Roots in Langendorf: Lonville traces back to 1873 when Johann Kottman established an ebauche (movement) and watch company in Langendorf, Switzerland. “Lonville” served as a French-sounding brand name (contrasting with the German “Langendorf”) for marketing, especially for export. It was linked to the Langendorf Watch Co., one of the larger Swiss producers around 1900.

BRIEF HISTORY OF CLINTON WRISTWATCH

Clinton Watches has a very poorly documented history.  The Clinton Watch Company was founded in 1922 in Switzerland by a immigrant Russian Jew named Wein. The company was passed down from father to son for several generations and was a major manufacturer of quality Swiss timepieces through the 1950's.

The Clinton Company ceased from manufacturing during quartz era when Japan made quartz watches flooded the market.
