Ingersoll Watches – Revival of the Classic American Watch Brand
21 octobre 2010 par English News
Ingersoll Watches feature complex exposed mechanical automatic watches with displays retrograde date, power reserve meters and moonphase indicators. The big & bold Bison collection offers a dramatic reintroduction of powerful & affordable (all under $500!) mechanical timepieces.
Ingersoll‘s rich history began in the United States in 1880 and became one of America’s most classic watch companies creating their famed Dollar and Yankee watches.
Over the course of their highly successful careers, Robert and Charles Ingersoll — founders of one of the oldest American watch companies — are acknowledged to have reached many milestones in the development and sale of pocket watches and wrist watches.
In 1880, the two sons of Orville Ingersoll — a farmer from Michigan — founded their enterprise in New York by producing and selling various articles for which they believed there was a general demand. Until that time, pocket watches were expensive luxury items, available to an exclusive few, because their manufacture entailed a great deal of highly skilled labor.
