Aaron Lufkin Dennison (American) was a principal in the founding of the company that became the Waltham Watch Co., in the early years when Waltham relied on British firms for components that went into American-made Waltham watches. Dennison was the point man in Britain for dials and other movement components that Waltham was not set up to produce. Dennison had emigrated to England, and likely died there. We see lots of U S-made watches in English cases. There were lower tariffs on watch movements shipped there to be fitted in English cases. In about 1875 or so, Dennison founded his own watch case company in England. The trade mark in his cases is A. L. D. It is very common to see Waltham movements in Dennison cases in Britain.
