Bixler's was founded in Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1785, by Christian Bixler III, nine years after the birth of the United States of America. Christian III was a veteran of the Revolutionary War and a master clockmaker, specializing in handcrafted tall case grandfather clocks. Many of Christian III's original clocks are still in circulation to this day. Christian III was particular about the materials and methods used in his clocks. He constantly sought more refined techniques to avoid any irregular timekeeping, which was a common fault in clocks of the period. He introduced new art forms to clockmaking, such as fine drilling, minute polishing, and the engineering of intricate mechanisms inside the clocks that revolved without friction.
Christian Bixler III purchased land from a relative of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, to open Bixler's Jewelers and Silversmiths.
In 1825, Christian Bixler III's son, Daniel, became the first of many descendants to carry on the family business. This transition would establish Bixler's as one of the oldest continuously operated family businesses in the United States of America.
