About Aaron Willard
- Aaron Willard (b.
- October 14, 1757, Grafton, Massachusetts Bay; d.
- May 20, 1844, Boston, Massachusetts, US) was an entrepreneur, an industrialist, and a designer of clocks who worked extensively at his Roxbury, Massachusetts, factory during the early years of the United States of America. While at the family farm at Grafton, Aaron Willard developed his career conjointly with his three brothers, who became celebrated horologists too (though Aaron's and his brother Simon's creations are the most significant). Both brothers moved to Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts, (where the peninsular town of Boston joined to the mainland) where they developed one of the first modern American industries, independently from each other.
- Simon and Aaron Willard's clocks were the first economically accessible timepieces of the country.
