In 1923, the two companies formally united together, becoming known as the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company. The Dueber Watch Case Company produced the cases for the watches that the Hampden Watch Company manufactured. In this new location, the two companies shared manufacturing facilities. In 1888, Dueber relocated the Dueber Watch Case Company from Newport and the Hampden Watch Company from Springfield to Canton, Ohio. This firm manufactured cases that held the internal workings of watches. Dueber owned the Dueber Watch Case Company in Newport, Kentucky. In 1886, John Dueber purchased a controlling interest in the Hampden Watch Company. Finally, in 1877, the company reopened, now doing business as the Hampden Watch Company. Three years later, the company's factory burnt to the ground.
