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.
