THE AUBURNDALE WATCH COMPANY - First American attempt toward the Dollar Watch An interesting part of the watchmaking industry - a well-intentioned endeavor gone wrong. Nevertheless, or exactly because of that, those rare timepieces still around on the market today fetch high prices amongst collectors.
