The Magnet Watch Co Sold and imported watch from the Swiss as well as contracted watches made in America. The primary American watch appear to be Elgin and Illinois manufactures. This example is a Illinois version. The Complete Price Guide To Watches has a nice section on the Magnet Watch Co. Pg's 337 to 339.
This Company was not unlike Ball Watch Co, or for that matter. Waltham or Elgin and many others. Who contracted with existing watch manufactures to produce product that were sold under their own names.

Possibly in the near future this web site will have a manufacture listing the Magnet Watch Co. So Magnet Watch Co.
can take its place in the history of American pocket watches.

At this time I listed the only possible place to list this watch. With the company that produced the watch. Illinois watch Co.
