The Star Watch Case Company was a manufacturing firm in Ludington, Michigan, from around 1903-05 until it went out of business in 1982. The company designed and manufactured watch cases for Hamilton, Longines, Gruen, and Elgin watch companies among others who shipped their internal watch mechanisms to Star which would complete final assembly. The company began making cases for pocket watches, adding wristwatches later. Star also manufactured small mechanical parts for military equipment during World War II. The etching designs were done on engineered machines made at the company specifically manufactured for the purpose. Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan wore the Omega Speedmaster Professional watch on a mission to the moon; commonly referred to as the "Moonwatch", the Star Watch Case Company had made cases for it. The demise of the company started when Elgin Watch Company decided to acquire several other vendors for their watch cases.
