The term American clock was used in the Victorian era and afterward to refer to a particular style of clock design followed by the American clockmakers of the day.[citation needed] In the 19th century, many clocks and watches were produced in the United States, especially in Connecticut, where many companies were formed to mass-produce quality timepieces.[1]
