Brief Information Norman Watches 

     The Norman Watch Company was based in New York, USA, and operated during that timeframe. They appear to have been an importer/distributor rather than a full manufacturer. Many (if not most) of their watches were Swiss-made movements cased and branded in the US for the American market (common practice for budget brands back then).

•  Similar models are often described as Swiss-made mechanicals with 17-jewel movements, retailed under the Norman/Norman De Luxe name. Some were simple time-only pieces, while others had decorative elements (e.g., beaded bracelets or pendant styles). around 1920–1925 in Lengnau/Biel (Bernese Jura), Switzerland. The company was registered as Eloga Watch Co. SA, with the name reportedly derived from the first letters of the founders’ or investors’ names (exact origin is debated; one common story links it to “E. Locher – Lo.gel – "

BRIEF HISTORY OF WALTHAM WATCHES

American Waltham Watch Company, founded in 1850, were one of the largest watch makers of the 19th Century. The company was founded on a relationship between three men, in Massachusetts USA.
Mr David Davis, a Mr Dension and a Mr Howard. It was based on a dream that they could produce watches that were of good quality, yet were not made from some of the more expensive materials usually found on watches of the era.

By 1851, the trio had there own production house, and the name 'American Horology Company' was adopted.

In 1852 the company had renamed themselves and watches were being produced with the signature 'The Warran Mfg. Co.' after a Revolutionary War Hero.
Watches 1 - 17, the first from the production line, were not placed on the market but were instead given to the company officials, and executives.
From then on the company went through a number of name changes, with watches #18 - 110 being engraved with "Warren Boston", the next 800 were marked "Samuel Curtis" (The Main Financial Backer of the Company) and a few were marked "Fellows and Schel" and were sold for $40.

In September 1853 the name was changed yet again to 'Boston Watch Company' an d a factory was erected in Waltham, Massachusetts in October 1854. The movements produced at this building are marked #1,001 to #5,000 and were marked with the engraving of "Dennison, Howard & Davis,", "C.T.Parker", and "P.S. Bartlett".
Times were hard and the Boston Watch Company failed in 1857, and was subsequently sold at Auction to Royal E Robbins.

History of the Windsor and Jagot Watch Company

The Jagot Watch Company was an American watch importer and distributor active primarily in the early to mid-20th century, specializing in affordable Swiss-sourced timepieces. It is best known for its association with the “Windsor” line of pocket and wristwatches, which were marketed as elegant yet budget-friendly options for the American middle class. The company played a modest role in the post-WWI watch boom, importing movements and cases from Switzerland and assembling or rebranding them for U.S. consumers. Jagot is not a major horological innovator but a classic example of the era’s import-driven watch trade, often confused with similar-sounding brands like “Jacot” (a reputable Swiss case maker) or “Fagot” (a common misreading of its stylized logo).
