The Dakota Watch Company is a retail and service company that specializes in watches and watch accessories. The company was founded in 1945 by Albert Cooper under the name Cooper's Fixery in Cincinnati, Ohio. At the time, the company's products consisted mostly of a variety of services ranging from scissor sharpening to watch repair. In the early 1980s the company changed its focus to watches (both sales and repair) and was accordingly renamed Cooper's Watchworks (Cooper's Watch World in some locations). Later, in 1996 the Company was again renamed, this time as Dakota Watch Company.

Today (May 2007) the company is operated by Albert Cooper's two sons, David and Martin Cooper, and has grown to over 150 locations across the United States (mostly in the eastern half). They also claim to be one of the largest watch retailers in the United States.
