Chapter 59 photo albumTake a look at what goes on at our monthly meetings! To look farther back in time, visit our watch and clock club archive.April 2011: Show & Tell featured the letter A. Here we have an Alfex wristwatch with a nice skeletonized movement, an 11-jewel pocket watch by Aurora Watch Company circa 1884, set up for a "fifth pinion", and an Accutron 218 movement showing the distinctive "tuning forks." 
November 2010: Show & Tell featured the letter T. Here we have a Seth Thomas calendar clock (closed and open). The third photo shows several smaller horological items (clockwise from top left) the world's only known 14k Time Computer PL-1 (most were stainless or 18k), two travel clocks, two Timex 21-jewel wristwatches, and a Tavennes wristwatch. The last photo reflects our program on Elgin pocket watches, given by our own Tim Rymer - shown is a basic Elgin three-finger bridge movement (note, however, that the three bridges are not individually secured). 
February 2010: Show & Tell featured the letter K. Here we have a lovely J. Kaiser 400-day clock, a true "anniversary clock" because it was acquired shortly after the owner's marriage. Next we have a "kitchen clock," having seen years of faithful service in the owner's kitchen. The dial restoration has faded; the panel is a mirror. Next, two photos of a 130-year-old pocket watch from Illinois. It's a key-wound watch that can also be stem-wound, hence a transitional movement. This example is lever-set. The last photo shows two beautiful pocket watch cases by Keystone, one gold-filled and the other "rolled gold plate."
