By 1815 , the team opened a Cincinnati factory to manufacture the works and placed them in clock cases produced by local cabinet makers. Soon thereafter their partnership dissolved, however, Watson continued to make wooden works and obtain cases from Ohio as well as from other areas such as Kentucky. _x000D_
