ABOUT THE WADSWORTH CASE AND WATCH COMPANY:

Wadsworth Watch Case Co. In 1889 Harry A. Wadsworth, along with partners J. H. Stegeman and H. Remke, built the first Wadsworth Watch Case Co. in Newport, KY.

This partnership was dissolved in 1892. The company became incorporated and by 1899 moved its operation to Dayton, KY where it remained until 1958.

Wadsworth Watch Case Co. was a major employer in Campbell County, KY in the early 1940s. At its peak it employed 1,350 workers.

This book covers the company's history as a watch case manufacturer that was converted to a manufacturing plant during World War II dedicated to the production of war materials and gun parts.

They produced more than100 million precision parts for the war effort. Wadsworth's quality production work earned them five separate Army-Navy "E" awards. "Waddy's" as it was affectionately called, had a lasting impact on the community and its employees. Harry A. Wadsworth fostered patriotism, civic duty, and lasting friendships. We trust we have paid a lasting tribute to his legacy.
