Toyo Watch Company
by: Bill

I'm not an expert on Japanese clocks. Maybe someone else will post more information.

All I can tell you is the name of the company was (is) Toyo Watch Company. It is (was) located in Japan as you thought.

Before WWII they made watches and novelty/alarm clocks and after WWII started, they made products for the war effort. When the war ended, they started their clock/watch manufacturing again.

An interesting note: Right after the war, they stamped on some of their movements "Made in Occupied Japan" I guess due to bad feelings with the US at the time.

Thanks
