BETTY LINDEROTH
SWEDEN, 1822 – 1900
Betty Linderoth was trained by her father, a watchmaker, after demonstrating an aptitude for watchmaking at a young age. Despite the male apprentices’ disparaging remarks, she continued her apprenticeship and went on to become an award-winning watchmaker, and was the first female watchmaker to display her work at the London World’s Fair in 1862. She married fellow watchmaker Gustaf Wilhelm Linderoth in 1844, and after his death in 1891 Betty took over his clockmaking business.
