It was the first company to make watches on an assembly line. It won the gold medal in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. Over 40 million watches, clocks and instruments were produced by Waltham Watch Company until it closed in 1957. read full wikipedia reference about Waltham, Massachusetts OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTSAndover Boston Burlington Cambridge Cape Cod Greater Area Danvers Hyannisport Lenox Marlborough Martha's Vineyard Milford Northampton Pittsfield Plymouth Provincetown Springfield Sturbridge Waltham West Springfield Westborough Woburn Worcester |
