"Watch Companies of America" is a self-published, spiral bound book compiled in 1978 by Jimmie C. Dixon.
From the forward
"The main objective to my writing this book was to assist the beginning collector or watches in learning all that he or she could about the companies that produced American watches. I was also disappointed in that there was no one publication to which I could turn to that would give me information about the names of the various American companies, the dates of their existence, the types of watches produced by an particular company, etc., thus, I began to gather as much information as I could."
Jimmie was able to collect information regarding 72 different manufacturers. The book is particularly valuable in identifying short-lived manufacturers that that were quickly absorbed into another company.
