Columbus Movie Watch

[Alacoque Whitchurch]

TheColumbus Watch Manufacturing Company was founded by Dietrich Gruen in December 1874 in Columbus, Ohio, finishing movements imported from Switzerland. In November 1882 the company was reorganized as the Columbus Watch Company, with Dietrich Gruen President and General Manager. In 1883 the Columbus Watch Company began to manufacture movements in a newly-built factory in Columbus, Ohio. The company's primarily made 18-size movements, and also developed a smaller and thinner 16-size movement. The highest grade 18-size movements were marketed as "finely adjusted and just the thing for railway service."

Around 1889 Columbus introduced one of its earliest named grade, the Railway King, a high grade, 18-size, 16-jewel movement, furnished with a micrometer regulator and adjusted to temperature and positions. The Railway King was initially released as a hunting case movement, an open face version was released later. The more moderately priced 18-size 15-jewels R.W.K Special was introduced in 1892.

In 1894, following the financial panic of 1893, the Columbus Watch Company went into receivership, operating with new management until 1903, producing watches under the names Columbus Watch Company and New Columbus Watch Company. Initially the new company's movements were a continuation of the existing models and grades.

In late 1894, the 18-size 21-jewels Time King grade was introduced for railroad service, adjusted to temperature, positions, and isochronism. The 16-size 21-jewels Ruby grade was introduced for railroad service in 1895, also adjusted to temperature, positions, and isochronism.. New Columbus continued to manufacture the Railway King as a 18-size 17-jewels movement until New Columbus brought out the new Railway King in about 1899. These were 17, 21, 23, and 25-jewels movements. Columbus King movements, nearly identical to the Railway King in 17, 21, 23, and 25-jewel versions, both open-face and hunting-case models, were produced starting in the late 1890's. These new higher grade watches were issued with a special block of serial numbers, starting at 500,001.

The assets of the New Columbus Watch Company were purchased by brothers Clement Jr. and George Studebaker, sons of Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company cofounder Clement Studebaker, in 1903. They formed the South Bend Watch Company, building a new factory in South Bend, Indiana, and hiring 145 former Columbus employees.

The Columbus Watch Company was founded by Dietrich Gruen on December 22, 1874 in Columbus, Ohio. Gruen would later become founder of the Gruen Watch Company with his son Frederick. At first, the company finished movements imported from Switzerland, made primarily by Leo Asbey.

In 1882, the company attracted a number of new investors, and moved to a newly-built factory on Thurman Street, in the "German Village" section of Columbus. It was here that the company began to manufacture movements locally under the leadership of Gruen and W. J. Savage. Savage was the elder son of William M. Savage, one of Columbus' most prominent businessmen. The younger Savage sold his share in his father's wholesale jewelry business in order to raise investment capital for the Columbus Watch Company.

The company's new movements were made primarily in 18-size, but Columbus also pioneered the development of the smaller and thinner 16-size movement. All told, Columbus produced 18s, 16s, 6s and 4s movements during their years of production.

In 1894, the company went into receivership and operated with new management. From 1894 until 1903, the company produced watches under the names Columbus Watch Company and New Columbus Watch Company. The "new" company produced primarily named grades such as the "Time King" and "Columbus King," "Railway King," "North Star" and "Champion." These new higher grade watches were issued with a special block of serial numbers, starting at 500,001 as shown below. Several models with 25 jewels were produced.

In 1903, the Columbus Watch Company was sold to the Studebakers and became the newly formed South Bend Watch Company. All machinery, production material, unfinished movements and most of the company's 150 employees moved to South Bend, Indiana to help in the establishment of the new company. South Bend finished many of the Columbus-signed movements in their early years, and examples of Columbus watches with dials made in the South Bend style may be found.

In recent years, parts for Columbus watches have become very difficult to find. Some repairs are simply no longer possible. Please contact us if you have any questions about the repair of your Columbus watch.
