	The Clinton Watch Company has an interesting history. It was established by Hyman Wein, a Russian immigrant, in Chicago in 1922. Instead of building his watches completely in house, he embarked on a mission to import the finest Swiss movements and assemble them for sale in the United States. Later in the 1960s, his son Irving Wein moved the company’s operation to Neuchâtel, Switzerland. As with many small Swiss manufacturers in the 1970s, the company was forced to close its operation and moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands thereafter.
