Other than the Packard/Hamilton & Studebaker/South Bend arrangements, it was a free-for-all on the pairings and you could find just about any combination of manufacturer with the different logos. Someone might have wanted a Harley logo on 'Grandpa Bob's' old pocket watch, and would have had the dial pulled from that. On the watch/logo combinations that may not match up on a timeline (the watch was made prior to the automobile company being formed, for instance), what we understand could have happened is, say for a car club, the members would need to provide their own watch to which the emblems would be added. For instance, a car dealership might have them added as a promotion, a motorcycle club would have ones done for each of their members, etc. On all but a few of the advertising logos, mainly Packard from the Hamilton company and Studebaker from South Bend, the logos would have been commissioned through a professional dial company after they left the factory to have the logo applied.
