Barraud made a series of watches for the Boston watch and instrument maker William Cranch Bond and Sons. Some of these watches were made for the Vermont Railroad and were most likely the first watches ever purchased for railroad use in America.

This example is a personalized watch for someone named Greely as is signed on the dial.

The watch is from the second series with serial number 2/6234. The Bond signature on the dustcap is W. Bond and Sons and would date the watch to the early 1860's.

The only known example marked for the Vermont Railway is in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum but there is documentary evidence that at least 10 were made under the contract with a possible extension.
