August Ericsson (1842 - circa 1910) Born in Sweden, he established an impressive business in St. Petersburg, Russia, around 1875. Most of the marine chronometers supplied to the Imperial Navy were made by him; they generally used Kullberg movements. One of his brothers, Bror, founded the Stockholm Watchmakers’ Association in 1884, and one of his sons, Alexander, became a chronometer maker.
