NAWCC Chapters
The NAWCC supports over 170 chapters worldwide.
All members are welcome to join a chapter within the National
Association of Watch & Clock Collectors. Chapters provide
camaraderie, learning opportunities, support for your interests, and
the opportunity to meet people eager to buy and sell collectible
timepieces.
A few large Chapters near metropolitan areas have hundreds of
members; others have only a few dozen. Meetings may be held monthly
or only several times a year. The type of meetings varies widely,
from having a formal talk by a nationally known speaker, to informal
workshops and demonstrations.
Lectures on a variety of horological subjects are always a part
of NAWCC gatherings. All Chapters have access to over 150 excellent
slide/tape and video programs. Chapter meetings usually include a
Mart, where you may find hard to locate items to add to your
collection.
Special Interest chapters, which focus on one particular facet of
horology, usually meet a few times a year at regional or National
NAWCC meetings, and they also provide members with fact-filled
newsletters and individual support.
Special Projects
Many chapters elect to
carry on certain special projects, such as hosting a National
Convention, hosting or taking part in a regional, sponsoring classes
in clock or watch work, publishing a chapter newsletter, rebuilding
a public clock, etc.
A glimpse at the wide variety of chapter activities is available
