Florentine Ariosto Jones: A Yankee in Switzerland and the Early Globalization of the American System of Watchmaking
Author: Frank JacobPublisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648893090
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This book recounts the story of Florentine Ariosto Jones, who after the Civil War decided to manufacture watches. Combining the cheap labor available at the time in Switzerland with US manufacturing technologies, Jones embarked on his venture to produce affordable watches for the American market. Consequently, he became a pioneer in the business of outsourcing labor for economic purposes through his contracting of labor to Europe. While the company still exists today, very little is known about Jones. The present book will undoubtedly change this by telling the fascinating story of an American adventurer and his pursuit to globalize American watchmaking at the end of the 19th Century.
