Ansonia Clocks were made by a clock manufacturing business which started in Ansonia, Connecticut, in 1851 and which moved to Brooklyn, New York, in 1878.
The Ansonia Clock Company was one of the major 19th-century American clock manufacturers.
Thomas Edison visited the factory in 1878 to experiment combining clocks with his newly developed phonograph.
By 1886, the company had sales offices in New York, Chicago, and London, and more than 225 different clock models were being manufactured.
In 1926 the company sold its Brooklyn warehouse, but this could not stem the inevitable.
In 1929 the majority of the timekeeping machinery and tooling was sold to the Soviet government's US trading company Amtorg, just before the stock market crash.
The parts, machinery and key skilled workers were shipped out of the USA to form the basis of the clock and watch industry in Moscow such as Poljot and Sekonda.
