Manistee Watch Company was a watch manufacturing company that produced pocket watch mechanisms from 1909 to 1912 in Manistee, Michigan. The dust-free factory facilities were state of the art built with reinforced concrete — a new technology at the time. The factory produced its own electrical power to run the production machines for manufacture; state of the art at the time.

Manistee Watch Company was a watch manufacturing company that produced pocket watch mechanisms from 1909 to 1912 in Manistee, Michigan. The dust-free factory facilities were state of the art built with reinforced concrete — a new technology at the time. The factory produced its own electrical power to run the production machines for manufacture; state of the art at the time. The mechanisms produced were then shipped to Star Watch Case Company for final assembly into a completed watch. Sharing similar facility layouts, they were about 30 miles (48 km) apart in Ludington. The mechanisms were made in various quality grades for a range of prices for the watch. Movements contained Jewel bearings imported from Switzerland. Notably, the Manistee watch was the first time a non-magnetic hairspring was made for a pocket watch in the United States. The watch company went out of business because of management problems. There are less than fifty Manistee pocket watches known to have survived, one of which is in The Henry Ford museum. The company name is owned by two businessmen who have not produced any watches themselves.
