The company also produced one of the most recognizable icons in the world the four-sided opal faced clock in the center of New York's Grand Central Station. All are a testimony to the industrious and ingenious nature of their namesake.Twenty-two-year-old Seth Thomas bought out his boss in 1807 just three years after being hired as a grandfather clockmaker in the Plymouth Hollow Conn. shop. This set a precedent of ambitious growth that would continue throughout his career. Within a decade Thomas had built a thriving concern by keeping his finger on the pulse of popular demand and industry technology. When his sons took over the business in 1860 many new styles were introduced. Just a few of the innovations: Spring driven clocks perpetual calendar clocks chime clocks and electric clocks. Seth Thomas (now owned by the Colibri Group) embarks on its third century in business firmly rooted in reverence for and preservation of the traditional but constantly evolving to meet the future.
