Seth Thomas (1785 – 1859) was an American clock maker and a pioneer of mass production at his Seth Thomas Clock Company.
He died in 1859, whereupon the company was taken over by his son, Aaron, who added many styles and improvements after his father's death. In 1875 the town was renamed Thomaston in Thomas' memory.
The company went out of business in the 1980's.
