Smiths

Smiths was a significant British watchmaker, founded in London in 1851 by Samuel Smith, evolving from jewelry to precision instruments, auto/aviation dials, and post-WWII wristwatches like the Everest and Astral, famously accompanying the first Mount Everest ascent (though Rolex often gets more credit) before production ceased around 1980, with the brand revived today for heritage-style reissues.
