The company was first known as Chicago Watch Case Co. It started in Chicago in 1882, manufacturing mostly 10K gold cases. One of the incorporators of the Chicago Watch Case Co. was Martin S. Smith of Detroit, who had become somewhat wealthy and invested in various business, especially lumber. He is the same M. S. Smith of the Detroit jewelery concern, and of the rare M. S. Smith watches. It is not clear that he is associated with the Chicago Watch Case business after its move to Brooklyn. Around 1885, the Chicago Watch Case Co. moved to Brooklyn, NY, where it was reorganized and renamed the Crescent Watch Case Co. All production was sold through the Waltham Co. agents, Robbins & Appleton.
