The company served the town well and produced over 35 million watches and other instruments before closing in 1957. Additionally, Waltham is the original home of the Boston Manufacturing Company, the first integrated textile mill in the United States. Notable people from Waltham include Franz Wright, Pulitzer-Prize winning poet, and the band Aerosmith who had a studio in Waltham known as The Wherehouse.
