How to Make a Watch - Illinois Watch Company 1922 video

Illinois used to have several watch factories within the state. In 1922, the Illinois Watch Company, located in Springfield, put together a video showing the entire process of assembling a wrist or pocket watch.  It was a fascinating process to produce that tiny instrument designed to keep our country running 'on time'.

Because this is a 'silent' movie, the presenter has attached a sound track to the video, which consists of 14 popular and recognizable songs with 'time' and 'clocks' as their theme. You will enjoy recognizing the music as you watch the video.
