LANCASHIRE WATCH COMPANY

LWC was a large watch factory which opened in 1889 in Prescot, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom. It made pocket watches, primarily for the UK market but it did sell to other countries... This website was set up in the latter half of 2016 primarily to showcase my new book on the Lancashire Watch Company (LWC). I added a section to document information about the LWC which I keep discovering since my book was published, and which I might have included in my book had I known it at the time of writing. And given the inextricable relationship with the LWC and Prescot, I have also added a section on watches which were not made by LWC but have ‘Prescot' on the movement... Everything about the Lancashire Watch Company (LWC) Pocket Watch Maker in Prescot, 1889-1911. Includes Book details, author John Platt, articles about the company and Prescot watches.
