About VintageWatchSite

Preserving American Watch History

Our Mission

VintageWatchSite is dedicated to cataloging and showcasing American pocket watches and wristwatches from the 1860s through the 1980s.

Why This Project Exists

American watchmaking played a major role in industrial history. Companies like Waltham, Elgin, Hamilton, and Illinois Watch Co. helped define precision manufacturing long before modern electronics.

How It Works

Users can list their watches using the “List Your Watch” page. Each submission is stored locally inside the Electron app using a JSON database.
