The company was founded by David Davis, Aaron Dennison, and Mr. Howard. Their vision was to form a watch company that could produce high-quality watches at a lower cost using interchangeable parts. With financial backing from Samuel Curtis, the first watches were made in 1850, but problems were encountered. They also found that even though they were using interchangeable parts, each watch was still unique and had its own set of errors to be corrected. It took months to adjust the watches to the point where they were any better than other widely available timepieces. In 1851, the factory building was completed and the company began doing business under the name American Horology Company. The first watches produced went to officials of the company, and it was not until 1853 that the first watches were offered for sale to the public. The name was changed to Boston Watch Company in September 1853, and the factory in Waltham, Massachusetts was built in October 1854. The movements produced here (serial numbers 1001 - 5000) were signed Dennison, Howard, Davis, C. T. Parker, and P. S. Bartlett.
