Ollendorff and Gotham Watches

 By Bruce Shawkey

Found this ad in a 1950 issue of JCK magazine. Gotham was a sub-brand of Ollendorff, generally low-jeweled (6 or 7) watches.

The company was started in 1868 by Isador Ollendorff. The company imported watches from Switzerland and was run by the family in New York City until it was sold to the Gotham Watch Company.

Another Gotham watch is shown below.
