The American company Bates & Bacon (Bates&B) was founded in 1864, starting the production of gold-plated watch cases, and later began producing bracelets, watch chains and other jewelry. Since 1880, the company began to provide a 20-year guarantee for gold plating, then patented its invention, and the guarantee became 100 years. 150 years have passed, and Bates and Bacon’s jewelry shines like new gold.
