John Bigelow founded the firm around 1824 and was soon followed by his brothers, Alanson & Abraham O. Bigelow and in 1830 they were known as Bigelow Brothers. Martin Parry Kennard of Brookline MA joined the firm between 1845-1847 and the company became Bigelow Brothers & Kennard until 1863. From 1863 to 1972 it was Bigelow Kennard & Co. They ceased business around 1972. During this long period they had watches and clocks private-labeled for them from various manufacturers, several examples of which are shown here.
