Case Details | Charles B. Thiery served his apprenticeship, starting at eight years of age, with Julian Favre, in New York City. He started his own business at the age of 16, in 1844, this, too, in New York City. He moved to Boston in 1848, starting a watch case factory, making only gold cases at that time. .... He had some financial help from Mr. Samuel Way, but owned the business after only a few months. ... In about 1853, he moved to Cambridgeport. In 1858 he again moved, this time to Boston. He took in a partner, John Serex, and the firm was renamed Thiery & Serex. Mr Serex left the company and in the year 1876 the company name became the Thiery Watch Case Co. They made their cases by the spinning method, covered by one of Mr. C.L Thiery's patents, and it should be mentioned here that he had been granted a number of them. Thiery Watch Case Co., 1876 to 1890's-Boston, Mass. |
