Important Executive Director Announcement from the NAWCC The NAWCC Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Mr. Rory McEvoy has been named Executive Director of the NAWCC. Rory is an internationally renowned horological scholar and comes to the NAWCC with strong credentials that solidly align with our education, fundraising, and membership growth objectives. He has a postgraduate degree in the conservation and restoration of antique clocks from West Dean College, and throughout his career, he has had the opportunity to handle some of the world’s most important horological artifacts, including longitude timekeepers by Harrison, Kendall, and Mudge.
Rory formerly worked as Curator of Horology at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, where his role included day-to-day management of research and digitization projects, writing, public speaking, conservation, convening conferences, exhibition work, and development of acquisition/disposal and collection care policies. In addition, he has worked as a horological specialist at Bonhams in London, where he cataloged and handled many rare timepieces and built important relationships with collectors, buyers, and sellers. Most recently, Rory has used his talents to share his love of horology at the university level by teaching horological theory, history, and the practical repair and making of clocks and watches at Birmingham City University.
Rory is a British citizen and currently resides in the UK. Pre-COVID-19, Rory and his wife, Kaai, visited HQ in Columbia, Pennsylvania, where they met with staff, spent time in the Museum and Library & Research Center, and toured the area. Rory and Kaai will be relocating to the area as soon as the immigration challenges and travel restrictions due to COVID-19 permit.
Some of you may already be familiar with Rory as he is also a well-known author and lecturer. His recent publications include the book Harrison Decoded: Towards a Perfect Pendulum Clock, which he edited with Jonathan Betts, and the article “George Graham and the Orrery” in the journal Nuncius.
Until Rory’s relocation to the United States is complete, he will be working closely with an on-boarding team assembled by the NAWCC Board of Directors to introduce him to the opportunities and challenges before us and to ensure a smooth transition. Rory will be participating in strategic and financial planning immediately, which will allow him to hit the ground running when he arrives in Columbia
You can read more about Rory McEvoy and this exciting announcement in the upcoming March/April issue of the Watch & Clock Bulletin.
Please join the entire Board and staff in welcoming Rory to the NAWCC community.

Hamilton Nautilus. 1960 something. 505 movement.
14K Elgin for New Year!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
This hasn't seen daylight in a long time. Not because I don't like it, but it's small... And I'm not...
It's just really cool. Elgin 643, an automatic A Schild movement. Doug has a really great article on the first imported Swiss automatics from Elgin. I've managed to find two of the three movements.

It could definitely use a good servicing, but for one day it ran fine.
In my pocket was this really neat Elgin with a French movement.
This is an Ultra calibre 41. 17 jewels and incabloc. Star watch co 10k GF case.
It's a fun part of Elgins history to explore. Both of these watches are assembled by the company before it went overseas.

As I've noted elsewhere, Elgin's Bumper automatics were already obsolete by the time they were introduced in 1950. By this time, the Swiss ...

I am wearing the only watch I own. A rose gold Steinhausen Altdorf that was given to me by my now wife.
I put it on on my birthday in January of 2000.
It comes off for showers, battery and wrist band changes.
Soon as I can figure out how to post a picture, I'll show it off.

Told ya.

I've been wearing a mixture of my Cyma Tavannes and my Seagull 1963, both are lovely little watches.
Omega Speedmaster Professional The Moon Watch
Put the Cyma on a steel stretch bracelet. Love it!
Originally a chrono Atrée but the dial was in very bad condition, calibre valjoux 7734.
This is one of my favorites; Buren Super Slender, micro rotor. This is the 25-j version.
The Seagull 1963 is out again, finally in some sun, right before it snowed hard this afternoon.
The Elgin watch is called Nautilus if I recall. I have 4 of them. Nice AS1361 movement, the Chevrolet of Automatics. Wonderful bullet proof movements that are easy to work on and NO CALENDAR! You couldn't beat the quality in these Swiss Elgins of the time period.This hasn't seen daylight in a long time. Not because I don't like it, but it's small... And I'm not...

Dave, you think this one could be the shipmate model? I’ll open it tomorrow and see if it’s the AS1361. Peter
Yes I love those lovely Lip timepeces, especially their pocket watches!viclip I know you love Lip, so I'm going to take them out, just for you
Thanks! I haven't mustered up the confidence to tackle an auto yet... Which is why this one still needs a service. I do have a couple victims for learning. Maybe someday soon. I'm a time only kinda guy,so I like that there is no calendar! Going from pocket watches to teeny tiny little automatics is a bit daunting. I've serviced some small wristwatch movements, but they were not autos.
I dont know the model, but that is a great looking Elgin! Love it.
Cheap BiDen watch, looks good, keeps good time, don't worry about anything happening to it.
