La Crosse Technology is a multinational manufacturer of electronic products including weather stations, radio-controlled clocks, watches and battery chargers. The company was started in 1985 in La Crescent, Minnesota and is now located in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

History

La Crosse Technology was founded in 1983 as a grandfather clock distribution company after the founder, Allan McCormick, returned from being stationed in Germany.

La Crosse Technology introduced the radio-controlled clock, commonly (but incorrectly) called an "atomic clock" after the extremely accurate timepiece behind the radio signal it uses as a reference, into the United States commercial market in 1991.

In 2004, the company was awarded a license to sell The Weather Channel branded weather stations.

In 2008, the company introduced the first Internet powered home weather station.
