Site of the Home of Joe Seeley Watchmaker:
Joseph Seeley pioneered Coloma's jewelry and watch repair trade in 1849. He advertised himself as "Watchmaker and Jeweler," selling gold and silver watches from "the best watch-makers in the world." He manufactured watches, vest chains, lockets and breastpins, often using gold brought in by the miners. All of Seeley's work was "made to order" with neatness and dispatch. In 1856 he closed his successful shop on Main Street and continued his craft from his "retirement" home here on High Street. |
