History
Established in 1878, the Croton Watch Co., Inc. made each watchmaker work hard to master the art of making timepieces. Croton Watch was a humble manufacturer who believed that precision, quality, style and value need to be all present to create the horological wonders of the century.
The family-owned and operated trade concentrated on diamond-studded watches that sold well to jewellery stores in the United States. As Croton's popularity grew, the demand for their sophisticated quality watches also grew bigger. At present, Croton Watch is still family-owned and operated by the Mermelstein family in an 18,000 square feet facility in Moonachie, New Jersey.
