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.
