You may also want to try the collections in Waltham MA.  I'm the former
archivist of the library there. (http://www.waltham.lib.ma.us/)  Howard
Watch was located in Waltham for a time and our collection did have a few
records about it.  The Charles River Museum of Industry (also in Waltham)
would be a good place to look too.  The main collection for the Waltham
Watch Company is located at Harvard University.  I think they're in the
Baker Library.  Harvard may also have Howard Watch materials in association
with the Waltham Watch materials.
