75 years ago Captain Philip Van Horn Weems (USNR)
founded this company with a single purpose in mind:
to improve sea, air and space navigation methods and
safety. The "Grand ole Man of Navigation" committed
much of his life to simplifying techniques, and
inventing and adapting new, accurate and time-saving
inventions. The precise measurement of time has been
central to the progress of navigation throughout
navigation history. In 1937, Captain Weems invented
the Second Setting Watch to help aviators plot their
courses more accurately. To commemorate the 75 years
of rich heritage of Weems & Plath that is closely
linked to this man who strove to perfect the field of
navigation, we are pleased to introduce our elegant
Anniversary Collection of ship's clocks and barometers.
To stay true to the high standard set by Captain Weems
the quality and workmanship of these fine ship's
instruments are unsurpassed. Each piece in this series
is created from solid, forged brass that is hand polished
and lacquered. The collection includes the finest German
movements, dials, hands and components available in the
world. The distinctive dial of each instrument is intricately
etched to create a subtle but rich pattern. All instruments
carry a Manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty. Each
instrument is provided with complete instructions, mounting
hardware and a fresh battery as required.
