His inventions include the Breguet balance spring, the constant-force escapement, and the tourbillon, a rotating 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 was permitted. If the exhibition comes near your home, don’t miss it!

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. NOVEMBER PROGRAM: Dave Weisbart described how he designed the beautiful clock on the cover of the November/ December 2015 issue of the Watch & Clock Bulletin, which won the People’s Choice Award in the 2015 NAWCC Crafts Competition.

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. google.com/share/AF1QipNUTF3wZwIPMBH7XLTfqUKHQWpAUxH3j_RatgJFft_zxVPa_8FhsHIUi2IJq2oyZA?key=bTJ1ZXV2MmxoWFZ0dkZ2cFVkMEJpZ1JuTHdRR0pB. 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 © 2016 National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc. Reproduction prohibited without written permission.

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 Daldry, Bill Dillon, and others are assessing the work needed squares, missing barrel gear teeth, and myriad problems with on the multiple movements that drive the observatory. spring hooks are often encountered in the repair shop.

Bill gave clear descriptions of excellent labor-saving tips for additional repair procedures, including straightening deformed barrels, boring out the inside diameters of new barrels, obtaining the minimum number of cutters needed to make most tooth sizes, dealing with two-piece barrel gears, cracked tubes, and bent arbors.

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.

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.

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.

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 LOCATION: Mountain Gate Family Restaurant, Thurmont, MD 21788; 301.271.4373 WHEN: Second Thursday of odd-numbered months, except July, 5:30 p.m. MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION: Lou Orsini or Darcy Bertelmann EMAIL: oh2batc@verizon. net; horologybuff@gmail. com WEBSITE: http://commuGeorge Hudson spoke about his nity.nawcc.org/chapter 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 Know someone who wants to join the NAWCC?

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.

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 37 January meeting of Chapter 58. © 2016 National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc.

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 © 2016 National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc. Reproduction prohibited without written permission.

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 © 2016 National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc. Reproduction prohibited without written permission. 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 Pillar & Scroll 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 NOW AVAILAB LE $ 2 6 . 9 5 This project was conceived by guest curators George Goolsby and Terry 46 Brotherton and its realization ultimately resulted in the array of clocks that the NAWCC is pleased to document in this book, which accompanied the National Watch and Clock Museum exhibit from November 2006 to May 2007.

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 50 NAWCC Conservation Seminar Preservation of Clock Mechanisms and Their Cases May 21-22, 2016 Location: NAWCC, Columbia, PA 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 Instructor Gregg Perry practices horological conservation in his Topton, PA, studio. He specializes in seventeenth- to nineteenth-century clocks, watches, early scientific instruments and their cases. He has trained and studied at the NAWCC, BHI, and West Dean College and has apprenticed in Germany, Belgium, and Italy.

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. 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 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 51 © 2016 National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc.
