The Boston Clock Company was originally organized on May 29th, 1884. It succeeds the Harvard Clock Company, which had been founded in October of 1880. This company produced wall clocks, but they were of a lesser quality.
When Joseph H. Eastman became the manager of the Boston Clock Company, the firm was a large producer of good "carriage" and "crystal regulator" clocks which were often shone on a mantel and had onyx cases. These clocks were of a high quality, and by 1890 they had 50 different models listed in their catalog. Generally, the clocks had porcelain dials, and most of the stylized parts of the clocks, such as the onyx cases, were no doubt imported. The company closed down in 1894, revived a small bit in 1896, and them was foreclosed on in October of 1896. Joseph Eastman tried to revive it, but to no avail.
