The Exploding Clock. Find out more about it.
Clocks and watches with dates. A clock that explodes. Chapter 92 members were treated to these, "marvelous" weather, and much more at the February 2, 2020 meeting.
A well attended meeting, despite the broad range of weather that covered Southwestern Ontario on "groundhog day" to hear about Clocks and Watches with Calendars by Rick Robinson (link to Rick's PowerPoint is in the left side column on this Web page). The presentation was accompanied by a number of timepieces brought in by members that exemplified clocks and watches with calendars.
Charles MaGee brought in his Siegfried Haller / Elgin 400 day known as the "German Time Bomb clock". It's a clock that can literally explode at any time. How cool is that! I definitely want one.
We also welcomed new members and visiting guests and all of us were treated to delicious pastries made by Rose Robinson.
The "marketplace" featured many great items too.
