Вроде бы получается так...
Из Интернета: A.B. Griswold & Co.
New Orleans, LA 1865-1906 Jewelers.
Это был ювелир. Работал по серебру. Поэтому он мог целенаправленно закупать механизмы в Швейцарии и делать для них корпуса своей конструкции.

One naturally turns to the beautiful store of A. B. Griswold and Co., at the corner of Canal Street and Rue Royale, as the leading jewellery store in New Orleans. The location is a most excellent one, being under the shadow of the Clay monument, around which all the street cars and other transportation lines centre. Here, with customers several rows deep, I snatched a few words from Mr. Abbott, who has been a long time with the house, and who looks, by the way, much like the late Henry Ward Beecher. This house is, I think, the oldest one in business in Louisiana, having been established in 1817 by Hyde and Goodrich on Chartres Street, then one of the principal streets of that portion of the city now known as the French district. This firm continued in trade until 1856, when the style of the firm became Thomas Griswold and Co. At the close of the war–and let me say the business men of New Orleans who were not ruined by the war were few in number–Thomas Griswold died and the firm became A. B. Griswold and Co. This firm shows a fine line of silverware, bronzes, clocks, watches, gems ,and jewellery, and enjoys a large trade. In the olden times they did about all the business in New Orleans, but now they are pressed very closely by the enterprising house of M. Scooler.
Вот, например, кувшинчик работы этой фирмы:
