Waterbury Clock Company factory

The Waterbury Clock Company factory is a historic complex of factory buildings in Waterbury, Connecticut. Development began in 1873, with the extensive plant serving as the company's main manufacturing facility and headquarters until 1944. The company is now known as the Timex Group USA, and was for a time one of the world's largest manufacturers of pocket watches. The surviving elements of the manufacturing complex were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The property has since been subdivided and is home to a variety of primarily industrial or commercial uses.
