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.
