A.L.D, stands for Aaron Lufkin Dennison. He was born in 1812 in Freeport Me, U.S.A. He was the first person ever to manufacture watches by machinery. He was trained as a watch repairer and together with his associate Edward Howard, a practical clockmaker, he built a factory at Roxbury Mass in 1853. Later the business moved to Waltham, near Boston. In 1857 because of financial difficulties, he sold the property to Royal E. Robbins of New York who took the firm, the Waltham Watch Co. on to international success.

A.L. Dennison moved to England in the meantime where he started to manufacture watch cases. His original premises, 24 Villa Road, Handsworth in Birmingham was later extended to Nos 24-32 and the business became known as Dennison, Wigley & co. A.L. Dennison died in 1895. The business continued till the surviving members Franklin (ALD’s son) and Alfred Wigley dissolved their partnership on 31st August 1905, Afterwards Franklin Dennison continued the business as The Dennison Watch Case Co. until it was converted into a limited liability company, registered on 23rd July 1919.

In 1911 the Dennison Watch Case Co’s range had made watches from 18, 15, and 9ct gold, silver and gold-filled cases, the latter with 25 (sun), 20 (moon) and 10 (star) years guarantees. It also had sovereign purses in 22,18,15 and 9ct gold, silver, 20 year gold filled and nickel. The company was a regular exhibitor, including the Jewellers’ exhibitions of 1912, 1913 and 1914 and at the British Industries Fair of 1915 and again throughout the 1920’s and 30’s.
