E. Howard & Co.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The E. Howard & Co. watch company was formed by Edward Howard and Charles Rice in 1858 after the demise of the Boston Watch Company. They bought the existing stock but were unable to buy the existing factoy so they moved to Roxbury. They decided to concentrate on high quality watches using unique designs.
The Keystone Watch Case Co. bought the rights to the "Howard" name in 1903.
