Watched it as a curiosity about the actual context of the man behind the brand International Whaling Commission, the story is actually very interesting is a “real courage” of the story across two continents, which is characterized by large ambitions, promising start, failed, and eventually achieving a lasting legacy.

An American, Howard Jones, director of building company headquartered in Boston, watch company. The brand, as well as the Elgin and Waltham is a big star in the booming U.S. market watches. Although the demand for fine watch, mainly to preserve the rich. Perceived good middle class eager to watch, a young FA the opportunity to see his question is: how to reduce the high cost of production, so as to provide consumers with a good view at lower prices than the United States leading brands? He realized that the answer is in Switzerland, where he can make use of low wages and a good foundation of knowledge of watches and clocks.

Access to the Swiss industrialist John Heinrich Moser. Sharp entrepreneurs, as well as watches and clocks, Moser the construction of a hydro-electric power plant effective powerful Rhine town of Schaffhausen. Although his stand generated a lot of energy, prices reasonable, Moser unique customer base has done an excellent pocket watch is not big enough. Therefore, when he and 27-year-old Jones are met, Moser Jones the opportunity to put forward, the United States has been looking for.

Accessorizing his newly acquired machinery factory and the United States, as well as his own technological inventions, Jones can be coaxial cable production, and an impressive level of several years. Principal products are excellent, “Jones calibres”, which selected a number of high-quality content, including a temperature compensation bimetals balance, hairspring and Po curve, and a fine adjustment index, a unique slender tail. (It is precisely these characteristics, the International Whaling Commission has already visited a number of modern watches, especially the Portuguese Football Federation Jones Watch and a number of different models of the new classical series.)

Unfortunately, success can not last. Had to face unexpected difficulties, and a group of dissatisfied shareholders, Jones could not keep liquidity, his company. In 1875, about 7 years after the beginning of action, Jones had to abandon the International Whaling Commission Schaffhausen commercial banks.

Although it may be very easy to dismiss Jones’s efforts have been futile, and ultimately what is, but they are. Florence Ali enthusiasm left over from the creation of an excellent quality and value of life, and ultimately become the world’s famous brand of watches to reflect the original “Probus Scafusia” motto: “good, solid technology from Schaffhausen” . Of course, the International Whaling Commission is one of the most interesting story of the establishment of any major watchmaking companies and, after all, a rich history of some of the most attractive things fine watches!
