About MeThe Errington Watch Co, set up by Charles Hutton Errington in Coventry in the 1880's, acquired by Henry Williamson in 1895, in which Errington remained the manager until he retired in 1910. They made this silver pocket watch. The firm was also one of the first in the UK to recognise the important new market for wristwatches. Charles Hutton Errington, trained as an engraver, became one of the most successful Coventry based manufacturers of cheaper watches aimed at competing with Swiss imports, described in his obituary as "a remarkably clever mechanist" with many Patents to his name.
