This watch was originally produced in 1924 by the Illinois Watch Company in Springfield, Illinois. In this same year, the Ford Motor Company revolutionized the manufacturing industry by introducing the first assembly line. This assembly line allowed for the mass production of cars, which drastically reduced the amount of time and labor required to build a car. This new manufacturing process allowed for the production of cars at a much faster rate and at a much lower cost. The assembly line also allowed for the production of cars with improved quality and safety. The introduction of the assembly line drastically changed the way cars were produced and allowed for the production of cars on a much larger scale. The Ford Motor Company's assembly line is still in use today and has had a lasting impact on the automotive industry.
