Orloff watches?

As you could probably guess from my username, i'm interested in finding out a little about the Orloff Watch Company / Orloff Co Inc.

I've managed to buy one on eBay and it gets a reasonable share of wrist time (despite the fact that a 1950's watch seems TINY compared to today's sizes.

There is one thread here from about 18 months ago (that I was involved in), but it doesn't really tell me anything.

home.watchprosite.com

I've tried all the obvious sources (ie: google) but can't find anything other than the odd one for sale (usually on eBay).

I'd like to try to find out a bit about the history of the company - anyone know anything, or can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

My Orloff
