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.
