Unusual Self Winding Clock "Click" to Login or Register

Most of us have seen examples of this companies products. They were found in train stations and jewelry stores across the nation and with the western union service correcting them each day were the clocks that the country relied on for correct time for many decades.

The one I have came from the Alemeda Naval Air station and I believe was a prototype for navy use. I have seen only one other like this, it is also pictured on this page and was a radio room clock. Henry Weiland has a movement but no case. Those are the only three examples I have ever seen or heard of.

Visualy it would be easy to spot as the correction signal red light is located in the interior of the numeral 6 on these. normaly the signal light is located above the numeral 6.

Fun stuff, always interesting to see the odd balls.

Happy hunting,

Bill Kapp
