John Wilter

John Wilter was an 18th-century watchmaker who had his name used fictitiously on Dutch forgeries of English watches. The majority of the watches bearing his name are Dutch forgeries, but there are higher quality ones that he made himself. The Dutch forgeries undercut competitors from London by about 50%. Some have spelling mistakes such as 'John Vilter'. The British Museum lists his activity dates as between 1760 and 1784.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has 2 watches with the name 'John Wilter'. Provided by Wikipedia
