The story of Limit watches goes back to 1884 when Alfred Hirst establishedHirst brothersas a company in Union Street, Oldham. He aimed to produce a wide range of timepieces, jewellery and optical goods. The company grew as it moved into the twentieth century, expending into Manchester and Birmingham. Whether they actually made anything or similar bought in cases from Dennsion of Birmingham and movements from Switzerland and then assembled the products with their name on is hard to ascertain.
