Students will learn the fundamentals of the pin lever escapement,
including troubleshooting and repair, with hands-on doing each
task that the instructor demonstrates.
Deadbeat Escapement: (2 day)
Students will learn the fundamentals of the deadbeat escapement,
including troubleshooting, properly resurfacing the entrance and

Students will learn the fundamentals of the lever escapement for
clocks (e.g., carriage clocks) and will clean and properly install a
platform with proper depthing to the contrate wheel.

instructors and enjoy the camaraderie with other
students. Contact Pam at [email protected]

mechanism intended to cancel out the effects of gravity.
Many were the amazing works on display, including the
repeating carriage clock produced for Napoleon Bonaparte,
the astonishing miniatures with hands the size of fine hairs,
and the star of the show—the Marie Antoinette—which
contained every complication known to horology. The displays were explained well, and the objects presented so the
observer could get very close, but not too close. Photography

NOVEMBER MEETING: Members met November 15. Two new
members joined the Chapter and two guests also attended.
NOVEMBER WORKSHOP: Pat Fitzgerald brought a Junghans
swinger that had been difficult to open because the winding
knob would not unscrew. He removed the back by using a
very small hemostat. He then found that the threads of the
winding arbor had been badly cross-threaded and jammed.
He found left-handed taps and dies and made a sleeve insert
for the knob. He then proceeded to do a general overhaul
of the movement and encountered a few oddities in the process.

OCTOBER MEETING: Twenty-one members attended the October meeting.
PUBLIC PROJECTS: Chuck Daldry and Tim Orr updated the
Chapter on the McClintock Building clock located currently
in Colorado Springs, CO. The outside clock case is being
restored by the Colorado Springs Street Car Museum. The
members discussed the glass that’s still needed.
The University of Denver Observatory Clock project is
progressing. Another meeting with the university observatory
people is scheduled, and photos are online at https://photos.

Members planned to meet at the Denver East and South
High schools to inspect, oil, and change the time on the
schools’ clock towers back to Standard Time.
OCTOBER PROGRAM: Members watched an NAWCC online
video titled The Howard Clock Building, narrated by Steve
Abrams. The tour shows the old Howard Clock Building in
Waltham, MA, just before its deconstruction in 1999. In 1886
this building started out as US Watch Co., a spin-off of the
Waltham Watch Co. US Watch Co. did not last long. Keystone Watch Case Co. bought the building in 1900 and was
producing watches under the name of E. Howard Watch Co.
SEPTEMBER MEETING: Eighteen members attended the September meeting. New member Jim Schutz was welcomed.
EARLY-BIRD SESSION: John Howell discussed handmade or
custom horological tools and showed several tools he made
to use in his work. Several other members brought some of
their own creations.
PUBLIC PROJECT: Two public projects are underway. First
is a collaborative work with Chapter 100 and the Colorado
Springs Street Car Museum on a McClintock Street clock.
Much of the restoration has been accomplished, works
cleaned and running, replacement chimes found, installed,
and now striking. The top and bottom bonnets only need a
coat of paint. New glass must be bought and installed. Sec- 27

the bottom and the less common No.
7As have deeper cases and interior bells,
yacht model bells are located at the top
of the clock, so the movement is essentially upside down. The clock’s striking
method is also unusual. Two of the train
wheels, including the locking wheel, are
invariably found marked with red paint
in the factory, so that assembly people
could set up the strike with reasonable
accuracy before passing the piece to the
shop adjuster. A removable bridge holding one of the wheel arbors functions to
allow strike adjustments (if needed) without pulling apart the entire movement.
NOVEMBER PROGRAM: Chapter member Bill Curley Jr. (CT), proprietor of
Fixed in Time Clock Repair, Waterbury,
CT, and expert machinist who specializes in reproducing metal clock parts,
presented “Barrel Spring Repairs for
Clocks.” His many years of experience
in difficult-to-perform clock repairs were
evident.
One of Chapter 21’s public projects is to maintain the Denver East High School towerclock. Bill explained that due to the high level
of stress placed on winding arbors and
their spring containment assemblies, reond is the University of Denver’s Observatory clocks. Charles pairs are frequently necessary. Broken springs, worn winding

260 Years.” Dave traced the history of the Simon Willard
weight-driven patent timepiece (banjo) clock, patented
in 1802, with special interest on clockmakers Elmer O.
Stennes, Foster S. Campos, and Robert J. Hynes. He explained the transition of a clockmaker making movements

in the 1700s to factory production first by Howard & Davis
followed by many other firms, and then back to the clockmaker making cases fitted with movements and accessory
attachments.
Stennes learned by design not as an apprentice but on
his own out of high school and then with his year of studies
at Wentworth Institute, Boston. Then Campos and Hynes
learned as apprentices from Stennes. The tragedies in
Stennes’s life focus on extremes, but they transformed the
lives of all three men, and today still standing is Hynes, perhaps the only apprenticed clockmaker in the United States
making banjo clocks in New England, where the story began
and where most were made within a 40-mile radius of what
is now Downtown Crossing, Boston. In a period of history
where the art and craftsmanship of using one’s hands to
make banjo clocks is fading, members saw beautifully made
Stennes reproduction Willard-style weight-driven banjo
clocks that Hynes produced by using components from the
shops of all three clockmakers. Dave knew the three clockmakers and gained his love for banjo clocks through his association with them.

NOVEMBER MEETING: Chapter 29 members met November
15. The mart featured many tools. A short business meeting
and a wonderful buffet followed.
Members were encouraged to bring a tool for the contest
and were given a list of common and not so common watch
and clock tools and asked to see if they could find one. This
was a great educational opportunity.
Members were encouraged to bring a winter project to
the Chapter’s first meeting of 2016. Before and after pictures
or the clock itself should be brought.
NOVEMBER PROGRAM: Longtime member Roy Burlingame
gave his interesting history of how he went from knowing
nothing about clocks or woodworking in the 1970s to where
he is today. Roy was recently awarded first place in the
Authentic Replica Clocks category, third place in Clock Restoration, and Honorable Mention in Horological Tools-New
or Reproduction at the 2015 Crafts Competition during the
National Convention in Tennessee. Roy has won several national awards for his craftsmanship in many categories over
the years.
Roy shared stories of how he and his longtime friend Dick
Broline (deceased in 2012) began buying rare clocks at various National and Regional Conventions. Most of these clocks
were in a sad state, missing numerous parts to their case and
having partial movements. Together, they restored the clocks
and then reproduced another one so they each had a clock.
Over the years they made more than 40 different clock
models. Roy focused on how they reproduced the elaborate
trim profiles of these clocks. Roy made many cutters. Roy
and Dick bought standing hardwood trees from farmers and
made movements starting with stock
plates and rods of brass.
—Gary Wolber
Roy Burlingame showed cutters he designed to create complex
moldings for clock cases at the November meeting of Chapter 29.
NEW OFFICERS: The following officers were elected for the

proceeds are used for Chapter education.
PUBLIC PROJECTS: Larry Boucher reported that the installation of the restored Cass County Missouri Courthouse clock
is now expected in January 2016, which will mark the end
of a years-long effort spearheaded by Larry to restore and
preserve the tower clock, a Seth Thomas No. 16 that was
originally installed in 1909.

officers for 2016: Tim Martel, president; Tim Von Reyn, first
vice president; Jim McGee, second vice president; Bruce
DeLugo, treasurer; Kathi Smith, assistant treasurer; Mark
Beever, secretary; Joe Wicklow, assistant secretary; Kirk Rau,
webmaster; and Janet Mead, David Smith, and Phil Goodwin, directors.
NOVEMBER MEETING: The sixth meeting of the Chapter’s
47th year was held on November 21 at the Brunswick United Masonic Lodge 8. The fall Chapter auction is a popular
event, and there was a great turnout for the meeting with
several spouses and guests in attendance. Tim presided over
the business meeting and introduced new members Tom
Carter and Kyle Bennett.
SHOW AND TELL: David Smith showed and explained how
he acquired an 8-day Eli Terry and Sons column and splat
clock. The mahogany case was in very nice condition, as
was the dial with its seconds bit. David decided to keep his
clock away from the auction tables.
NOVEMBER PROGRAM: Tim served as auctioneer for the
Chapter’s annual auction, and with the help of several runners, went through many tables of items, including several
shelf clocks, a few wall clocks, and many parts, supplies, and
tools. Some members donated items to be auctioned to benefit the Chapter treasury.

NOVEMBER MEETING: Thirty members and guests attended
the November 1 meeting. Tom Mostyn was recognized for
winning first, second, and third place, and an Honorable
Mention in the Wood Case Clock—Solid or Veneered category at the 71st National Convention’s 2015 Crafts Competition. George Thomas, an internationally known watchmaker
and restorer, gave a tour of his workshop and showed many
tools he has acquired in his 50 years of watchmaking. He
also showed a reproduction Breguet Souscription watch he
made and illustrated some of the steps in making it. George
answered questions about rust removal, cleaning, and polishing watches.
SEPTEMBER MEETING: Twenty-eight members and guests
attended the September 27 meeting. The Chapter welcomed
new member Bill Hiler and enjoyed an active mart.
SEPTEMBER PROGRAM: Jim Manning presented “Interesting
and Unusual Clock or Watch Repairs.” He brought two
clocks: (1) a circa 1780-1790 French Capucine grande sonnerie clock, with a pull-repeat and alarm, in excellent condition, considered an early version of the carriage clock and (2)
a 30-hour pullup movement he purchased on eBay for $11,
which was listed as English. However, Jim recognized it as a
possible John George Hoff (1733-1816) Lancaster County, PA,
movement. There may be some missing
parts from the front plate. Research is
ongoing.
Frank Goad explained how he used
a white putty material to repair a chip
on a pocket watch dial. He sanded and
scraped it with a razor blade and then
painted it with a matching paint. When
the repair was completed, he used dry
transfer letters, numerals, or lines to fill in
any missing areas. The result looks quite
presentable.
Tom Mostyn brought a binder of photographs of questionable repairs with a
few samples of the repairs he has encountered in his repair work.
George Hudson showed a brass fan he
made to replace a missing fan that was
part of the remontoire on one of his tower clocks. It worked perfectly.
JUNE MEETING: Twenty-five members
and guests attended the June 7 meeting.
Members brought items for sale at
the mart.

JUNE PROGRAM: “Clock Tales” were featured by presenters.
141. FREE STATE
Bill Miller brought an Atmos clock designed by Lugi Colani,
a noted German industrial designer. The clock, in production
from 1974 to 1975, had a modern design. Bill also brought a
circa 1879 Gilbert clock that featured Professor Hayden’s lunar calendar dial, with 20 indications of changes and phases
of the moon, the various times and kinds of tides, and a
simple day of the month calendar. Most indications, except
for the day of the month calendar, were ridiculous, and the
clock was withdrawn after a year of production.
Tom Mostyn showed a Waterbury clock with a made-inFrance label. Because southern states did not want to buy
clocks from northern states after the Civil War, the French
label was used to facilitate sales. Tom also showed a circa
1920 Gilbert windmill clock that had an 8-day time-andstrike movement in the base, with two gears on the side to
power the windmill vanes. Each vane had a weight-controlled pocket watch movement that would advance 12
hours with each rotation of the windmill.
Don Buck showed a quartz wall clock that was given to
him because the battery was hard to replace. He offered the
clock to anyone who wanted it, but there were no takers.
Ed Butler showed a 1948 clock that was made in the Philippine Islands. The hand-carved case with anchors and other
naval motifs housed a Chelsea movement.
Frank Goad presented a 1930 Illinois wristwatch that was
not railroad grade but was advertised as an off-duty strap
watch for railroaders. The watch had many of the features
that a railroad grade pocket watch would have.
Jim Manning showed a timing device that incorporated a
circa 1905 Chelsea clock used by the US Signal Corps. The
US Signal Corps dated back at least to the Civil War.
APRIL MEETING: Eighty-five members and guests attended
the Annual Joint Chapter 11, 12, and 141 Meeting and Mart.
The Chapter had 40 tables in the mart, and trading was
good.
APRIL PROGRAM: Jeff Schuldenfrie gave a presentation titled
“Comic and Cartoon Watches.” Jeff included examples of
some of the earliest pocket watches and alarm clocks as well
as present-day quartz watches.
MARCH MEETING: Twenty-one members and guests attended the March 1 meeting. Sleet, freezing rain, and snow
were forecast for the afternoon but started during our 9
a.m. breakfast. The Chapter started the meeting with guest
speaker Rory McEvoy, curator of horology at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. Rory gave an excellent presentation titled “Ship’s Clocks and Stars: An Early History
of the Marine Chronometer.” He discussed the events and
technological advances that led to the development of the
marine chronometer. —Bill Miller

NOVEMBER MEETING:
Twenty-four members and two guests met on November
12. After the buffet dinner President Lou Orsini recognized
Ken Powell, who rejoined the Chapter after several years’

meeting for those who are unable to attend the meeting
to determine the amount of interest in this online service.
He also can record and save the program presented on the
Chapter website with the permission of the presenter.
NOVEMBER PROGRAM: George Hudson gave a presentation
titled “E. Howard 1687: The Story of a Clock,” on how he
found, identified, restored, and researched the journey of
the E. Howard 1687 tower clock. His story, originally told in
the NAWCC Bulletin, No. 363 (October 2006), was riveting.
George became enamored with tower clocks through his research on and restoration of a tower clock at the Woodstock
Academy in Woodstock, CT, in 1984, which was published
in NAWCC Bulletin, No. 238 (October 1995). In 2002 he
purchased an E. Howard tower clock movement, which had
been in storage since 1950 and for which the owner knew
very little of its history. He located the serial number, 1687,
which gave him a lead that took him on an amazing sleuthing journey that enabled him to reconstruct nearly the entire
history of the tower clock movement and its initial owner—
an incredible story. —Lou Orsini

NOVEMBER PROGRAMS: Back-to-back workshops about the
repair of antique pocket watches were held in the morning. Chris Carey gave two presentations: Waltham Model
1899/1908 and Ab Ovo Usque Ad Mala. He covered the
repair of an antique pocket watch that included the workings of the watch, the tools used to repair the watch, and
the technical documents useful in its repair. More advanced
repair procedures, such as replacing the balance staff, adjusting the escapement, and regulating the timekeeping were
also discussed. Chris learned the trade from his grandfather,
Pasquale “Pat” Caruso, who was a watchmaker at Waltham
Watch Co. for more than 40 years. Since 1993 Chris has
owned and operated Watertown Watch and Clock,
Newton, MA.
Peter Nunes gave a presentation titled “Unusual American Pillar and Scroll Clocks—Variants and Deviations.” Peter discussed the ubiquitous pillar and scroll clock, probably
one of the finest clock designs that marked the apex of American wooden movement, shelf clock casemaking. They also
are the first affordable American shelf clock; thus, they revolutionized the American clock industry. Several interesting
variations were shown. Some were early, or high style, top
end variants while others were simplified and cheapened,
but they all illustrated the astounding variety to be found
among American pillar and scroll clocks. —Les Tyrala
NOVEMBER MEETING: Members met November 15 and continued the tradition of strong watch dealer representation in
the mart and a good selection of clocks as well.
NOVEMBER PROGRAM: Vincent Mack, owner of Mack

tools he’s designed for the creation of these often complex
movements, many of which feature fusees and roller pinions,
in addition to being housed in handsome cases of his own
design. A group of members clustered around the table and
marveled at these wonderful machines. —John Fitzwilliam

JANUARY PROGRAM: Tracy Willits gave a presentation on
Japanese regulator schoolhouse clocks. He brought clocks
from the two major manufacturers: Meiji and Seikosha. These
clocks became very popular in the late 1960s and 1970s;
70 percent were remanufactured in the 1970s and 1980s in
China and the United States. The clocks were put in working
order, but many different parts were used, not the original
parts from the clock companies of origin.
Tracy Willits discussed 1920 Meiji clock with all original parts at the

DECEMBER MEETING: Chapter 1 members met on December
6. The mart was busy with more than 50 tables sold, and
buying and selling were brisk and profitable. An early 1800s
verge fusee pocket watch in nearly mint condition was sold,
and a clock sold was in the Best of Show competition. At
least one jeweling set and a beautiful, small Swiss belt-driven,
sensitive drill press were sold. One member needed a small
hand truck to help him load his newfound material systems
into his car.
President Michael Allen chaired the directors’ meeting.
The winners of the Chapter 1 Scholarship for this year were
announced.
Ian Wetherly gave a demonstration titled “Dial Silvering
on Your Kitchen Table.” About 40 attendees learned how to
resilver clock dials with commonly available supplies at little
cost. Ian also discussed the pros and cons of dial work, what

elected to the board of directors.
DECEMBER MEETING: President Terry Weaver welcomed
members and introduced guests. Members received a clock
key ornament for their tree. Lorraine also discussed the results of the Chapter survey and will be sending them out
shortly
SHOW AND TELL: The Chapter’s holiday horology display included a Kurt Adler Santa clockmaker figurine, vintage watch
and clock ads, including a Gruen Watch Christmas Kiss Quiz
asking “Which of these watches will bring you the nicest
kisses Christmas Morning?”; a Howard Miller Santa clock;
holiday cards sent to members from the NAWCC; Hallmark
clock ornaments; a “Polar Express” pocket watch; and a picture of one of the member’s clock tree.
DECEMBER PROGRAM: Jim Zerfing gave a presentation on
Poole clocks produced in the 1920s by Poole Clock Co.,
a part of Morse Chain Co. in Ithaca, NY. These clocks are
powered by 3 D-sized flashlight batteries producing 4½ volts.
These clocks do not drive a motor as in most battery clocks
but instead reset a gravity lever that impulses the pendulum
when the swing of the pendulum decays to a predetermined
rate by a Hipp Toggle. The toggle trips the gravity lever and
also closes a switch that energizes an electromagnet to return
the gravity lever to its original position. Jim also brought examples of the Executive model clocks, patent drawings, and
photos of the movements.
UPCOMING EVENTS: Members discussed the chimes not
ringing properly at Trinity Episcopal Church. It was decided
to turn them off so the motor would not be damaged. Sometime in January, members will then pull them out and repair
them. Jim will notify the church. —Lorraine Schmitt

appropriate for the holidays! This clock can be found at the
National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, PA.
After the program, members enjoyed the regular Christmas exchange party. Each member brought a humorous
horological gift, if possible, not to exceed $1 in value to
exchange. This is always a fun time for everyone because
some interesting gifts seem to always show up. The delicious
Christmas potluck lunch followed the program.

JANUARY MEETING: Chapter President James Riley called the
42
meeting to order. Fourteen members and one guest attended
the January 10 meeting.
SHOW AND TELL: John Williams brought a perpetual calendar clock that he recently acquired. Duane Sichveland
brought a lantern clock he acquired in China. Duane is looking for a glass for the clock. Charlie Gallagher brought a collection of pocket watches. Ray Smith brought a French clock
he is researching for someone.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Calvin Flowers brought an English tallcase flat-top clock from the early 1700s. Calvin discussed
how he dates and assesses the condition of a clock. Things
to look at are the dial, the numbering on the dial, the division of the numbers, the hands, the door (glass or wood),
the molding on the case, count wheel, the back, rub mark in
the case for the pendulum, and drive for the weight. Calvin’s
clock was made by a London clockmaker and would have
been a status symbol for the owner. The dial is brass and had
divided numbers. It has an 8-day movement with an internal
count wheel. The weights are cast iron. Calvin also brought
an English banjo barometer. The barometer was made by an
Italian maker and uses mercury to position the barometer
hand. The device was used to predict the weather. It could
indicate if stormy weather or very dry weather was on the
way. The barometer also had a hand that could be positioned
to record the previous day’s reading. A convex mirror is also
on the case.
UPCOMING EVENT: The next Chapter meeting is March 13.

NOVEMBER MEETING: On November 7 Chapter 15 and the
Capitol Area Watchmakers and Clockmakers Guild cohosted
a hands-on, clock repair class. As a follow-up to the earlier
hands-on repair sessions, this workshop had a round robin-type format. There were four stations, with the following
instructors of each station focusing on a different repair topic:
gear tooth replacement, Mary Ellen Bell; bushing, Don Bugh;
pivot polishing and repivoting, Michael Webb; and escapements, Jay Holloway and Dave Arnold. Each participant was
invited to bring a clock movement for evaluation, and there
were also movements that could be used for demonstration
and hands-on practice. There was a great turnout, with a
full class, and attendees enjoyed themselves while learning
new skills. Chapter 15 member Don White said, “I thought
the workshop session was well worth the time and I feel
that I gained a great deal of ‘hands-on’ knowledge during
the session. It was especially effective in that each topic had
only four or five people so that everyone got a chance to get
all their questions answered and then being able to perform
some of the tasks yourself was very valuable. All the instructors did a great job and I thought that the topics chosen were

some that have always been at the top of my lists.”
On November 21 Chapter 15 held its traditional informal
year-end wrap-up meeting. Attendees discussed their favorite programs and activities of the year as well as what they
would like to see in the coming year. Several volunteered to
give programs in 2016. Members agreed on a mix of programs that range from the technical for the clock-watch repair person and the historical for collectors.
Jay Holloway, newly elected NAWCC Director, gave a
brief report on the Board meeting held in November in Columbia, PA. Members were optimistic about the direction

es were drawn, and Michael Dutton won the exhibit table
drawing for his Waltham aircraft clock and deck watch.
DECEMBER PROGRAMS: Randy Naber gave a presentation
titled “Replacing a Seth Thomas Adamantine White Paper
Dial.” Randy demonstrated the step-by-step procedures he
used to replace a paper dial. The video covered everything
from where to acquire paper dials, how to prepare the dial
pan, how to measure and cut the new dial, what adhesives
to use, how to apply the new dial, and finally how to apply
grommets and other finishing touches.
Mike Tyler gave a presentation titled “The Tower Clocks
of Colonial Williamsburg.” Mike narrated the program
accompanied by excellent photos projected onto a large
screen. In the late 1990s Mike, armed with a camera, and
longtime Chapter 34 member Paul Westerholm (recently deceased) went on a tower clock-seeking adventure in Colonial
Williamsburg, VA. This adventure was inspired when Mike
saw a tower clock in the background of the TV show The
Woodwright’s Shop with Roy Underhill filmed in Colonial
Williamsburg. Mike and Paul came across three tower clocks:
a Seth Thomas in Burton Parish Church, an Isaiah Lukens in
the Wren Building at the College of William and Mary, and
an unidentified—probably of English origin—in the Colonial
Capitol building.

DECEMBER PROGRAM: Members watched a video about the
National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, PA, and
several members want to travel to that area in the spring.
Charlie MaGee gave an interesting talk on his process for
cleaning and polishing 400-day clocks. Controversy exists
over whether it was necessary to remove the springs from
the barrels.
The theme for the Chapter’s display was weird clocks
that probably no one has or probably even wants. Members
brought some unusual items, and the judges had a hard
time deciding between Gerry Koolen’s repurposed black
mantel that is now blue and sports some boa feathers from
Gerry’s collection and Rose Robinson’s ostrich sitting on an
egg clock. Finally, they awarded the gift card to the ostrich
clock.

attended the November 22 meeting.
NOVEMBER PROGRAM: Jim Connell introduced his video
“What’s Different about Canadian Clocks?” The video
focuses on the unique case styles and movements of Canadian-made clocks beginning with the earliest made in
Quebec. Examples by Thomas Drysdale, James Hanna,
Michel Lamontagne, Joseph Marcoux, and others were
shown. Clocks in the Maritime provinces included work by
Fairbanks, Plummer, and Mitchell. In Upper Canada, Jim
described the work of Jordan Post and especially a dial on a
Post clock made out of sheet copper—the only one known.
Jim touched on the work of the short-lived Canada clock
companies and Hamilton Clock Co. Jim discussed distinctive
features of Hamilton Clock Co. clock doors and Pequegnat
Clock Co.
Jim’s video can be found on Chapter 111’s website and on
YouTube.
SHOW AND TELL: J. P. Tourigny showed a beautiful Jaquet
timer labeled and sold by J. W. Ellis Industries in Toronto
and a Hamilton wristwatch with a curved case back. Allan
Symons showed an example of a new Snyder Clock addition to the Canadian Clock Museum. Snyder was the largest
clock manufacturer in Canada, and Allan has more than 200
examples in his museum.
Jan Selles showed an English hunter-case watch marked
“Joseph Johnson, London”. The movement is jeweled
through to the fusee. The serial number matches on the
dial, case, and movement. Brian MacDonald showed two
Longines pocket watches made for railroad service in North
America. One was an 18-size Express Monarch with the
private label of Dingwall, a Winnipeg-based watch inspector
who sold his business to Birks. The second was a 16-size
Express Leader with a Birks private label. Brian noted that
Longines was the largest provider of Swiss railroad grade
watches in North America, with a 3:1 advantage over second place Omega. However, he noted that American-made
railway watches outsold Swiss by a factor of 30:1 in Canada.
—Gary Fox
“Impact of American Technology on the English Watch
Trade” in which he explored the relationship between
American and English watch manufacturing during the second half of the nineteenth century. In part it is based on the
travels of Aaron Dennison, whom Phil wrote about in his
2009 book available from the NAWCC store. In 1850 Dennison as one of the partners in the newly established Boston
Watch Co. traveled to England and Switzerland to buy jew- 45

els, balances, springs, among other items for mass production
of watches in the United States. As he journeyed through
England, he saw the workshops in Prescot, Lancashire, and
other towns and met key players in the developing trade in
England. The American company went on to high achievements, but that is another story.
William Ehrhardt was an early pioneer in Birmingham,
England, who started his first watch factory in 1855. By 1880
this firm was making 500 watches per week with 400 employees by using old-fashioned and modern methods and
also with female labor. When Dennison was ousted from
Waltham Watch Co. in 1861 and after failed endeavors with
Tremont & Melrose “hybrid” watches in Zurich, he started
Anglo-American Watch Co. in Birmingham using unsold
hybrid movements, but this also failed. He persevered and
formed Dennison Watch Case Factory in Birmingham, which
went on to famous acclaim.
In 1873 Waltham established a London office and started
to use Dennison cases for its movements; soon 10 percent
of Waltham’s output was coming through this office with an
adverse impact on the UK watch trade. Waltham then introduced the cheap Traveler movement with 7 jewels with great
success in the UK. Rotherhams of Coventry was another
famous UK firm that used American methods of mass production and lasted until World War II. In 1872 John Wycherley of Prescot received a patent for the production of rough
movements in his factory, which was another early attempt at
mass production. He eventually sold out to the instigators of
Lancashire Watch Co. who established a factory in Prescot in
1891, based partly on the iconic Elgin Watch Factory in Illinois and used American lathes and tools from Waltham Tool
Co. Unfortunately, this failed in 1911 and was the last attempt
to manufacture watches on a large scale in Britain. By now
American and Swiss imports had dealt a deathblow, and
the English trade was in terminal decline, with perhaps only
Rotherhams and the high-end makers Nicole-Nielsen and
Samuel Smith in London, who made repeaters, etc. Smiths
turned into the giant conglomerate Smiths Industries Ltd. that
is still in business today. —Marion Krajewski

NAWCC Board Chair's Message to the Membership
January 21, 2016
M A RC H /A P R I L 2 016 N AWC C M A R T & H I G H L I G H T S
Dear Members,
To keep the NAWCC, Inc. in a sound financial condition,
your Board of Directors, Executive Director, and Controller
have made some difficult but necessary decisions. In November 2015 the Board approved an FY2017 expense budget of
$1,918,458. A separate motion increased regular membership
fees by $8. The vote was ten for, one against, and one absent.
Working together, the Board and staff have made cuts in
some areas of the budget but have increased funding in some
vital areas. The increases will allow for the restoration of the
librarian/archivist position to full time from part time and a
new part-time development coordinator position to assist with
grants and fundraising.
To minimize the membership fee increases, we have implemented limited advertising in the Watch & Clock Bulletin, which
has resulted in over $15,000 of additional revenue, so far. We
also updated the ad rates for the Mart & Highlights. Additional
educational workshops should provide $12,000 over the current year.
The $8 membership increase for our regular members—
both with mailed and electronic publications—is effective with
April 2016 renewals. Business memberships and contributory

memberships are slightly higher. The change was effective January 1, 2016, for new and lapsed members. Memberships were
last increased October 1, 2012.
We have used IRS regulations to establish the fair market
value of membership benefits—primarily the publications—so
the balance may be used as a deduction for those who itemize
for US income taxes. The deduction represents 60 percent
or more of your membership, thus offsetting a portion of the
increase for those who itemize.
Your membership is supporting the NAWCC and the many
benefits we each enjoy, which include fellowship, buying and
selling at Regionals, the great articles in our publications, library
research, museum, and educational programs.
The FY2017 budget can be found at http://www.nawcc.org/
images/stories/bod_docs/finance_reports/FY17_Budget_posted.pdf.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express our
sincere appreciation to each of you for your continued support
of the NAWCC. You are important!
Sincerely,
Phil Gregory

Katrina Clarke’s cake was auctioned at the 2015 All Texas Chapters
Regional in Houston, TX.
Clock front used as a generic cake model.
Model of a Clock
by Darrah Artzner (TX)
look for concerning pivots. It was just those darn
mainsprings that bothered me until I found a good
use for some large nylon ties I had lying around. I
didn’t have a mainspring winder of any type, so I used
what I had and they worked great. I got through it
successfully because of the many books available
from the NAWCC and other sources. I still use nylon
ties when working on these nonbarreled mainspring
movements.
After Shaun returned my clock, I was impressed at
how well it was keeping time, but I noticed that no
gold trim showed on my clock as was depicted in the
E. Ingraham catalog. I ran a toothpick and sharp pencil
along the inscribed lines, and gradually many years of
wax started to flake out of the inscribed ornamental
lines. I could then see some of the original gold in
the engravings on the case front. There is just enough
to show off the inscribed pattern against the black
background. A black finish (paint?) on the metal trim
near the top of the case would not come off. Faint
gold tone color can be seen if given sufficient light,
but it was not worth more recovery work because it
seems to fit the overall condition of the clock.
E. Ingraham Co. produced many clocks during the
early 1900s in Bristol, CT. Its company catalog No. 33
(1905-1906) contains approximately 130 clock styles,
including mine on page 43.

Editor’s note:This article was originally printed in the
October 2015 issue of the Chapter 139 newsletter titled
the San Jacinto Star.
During the August 2015 All Texas Chapters
Regional, Houston, TX, Katrina Clarke’s cake modeled
after an early 1900 shelf clock was auctioned off to
benefit Chapter 139. Ben Fulbright conducted the
auction and the highest bidder was Marcus Bush, who
quickly cut up the cake and shared it with everyone.
Katrina is the wife of Shaun Clarke, Chapter 139’s
vice president. She decorates cakes as a serious
hobby—sort of like being a serious watch or clock
collector. Katrina needed a model of a clock; her
husband is a watch collector. Shaun contacted me,
and I said I had one clock she could use. Keep in
mind I am not a diehard clock collector but one who
also concentrates on pocket watches.
I showed him an E. Ingraham ebonized wood
shelf clock, one of the first clocks I purchased. I was
fascinated by the two coils of unwound springs when
I first looked inside and had to figure out how to
contain them when taking the movement apart to
study and clean it. I had little knowledge of clock
repair and even though I had just joined Chapter
139, I knew no one to ask. With my mechanical
ability, I thought I could manage. I hand washed all
parts in a water-based solution and dried them. I
knew about pegging the pivot holes and what to
