Pardon Miller Pocket Watch

Pardon Miller was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1797 and worked as a silversmith, jeweler, and watchmaker from 1822 to 1850. His shop was at 47 Cheapside Street in 1836 where he advertised spectacles, thermometers, English and French watches, chairs, silver spoons, and beads in gold or silver. Later, in 1844, he was located at 24 North Main Street (Voss).

This watch was acquired in 2016 from Alan Treherne, longtime member of the Antiquarian Horological Society who served in many leadership roles.
