Watson & Newell was founded by Clarence L. Watson and Fred A. Newell in the year 1880 in Attleboro, MA.

They operated in the name of Watson, Newell & Co from 1886 to 1895 then in the year 1895 to the Watson, Newell Co. The company was renamed again in the year 1915 to the Watson Co.

Watson was a major manufacturer of sterling flatware and hollow-ware. It has showrooms in Chicago, New York and San Francisco,

Watson had produced a line of sterling hollow-ware for Wilcox & Wagoner beginning about 1900 bearing the sword and laurel wreath mark.

When Wilcox & Wagoner closed down around 1905, Watson continued producing with this mark until 1929. Watson was acquired by Wallace Silversmiths in 1955.
