hi everyone.


Just a FYI . this is still a work in progress..... The Things With Springs Clubhouse room is meant for a Live watch forum experience with a small GTG. We are striving for a collector to collector conversations.. having collectors either email me photo of there watch ( or they can join the forum and reply to this thread ) so we can " chat" about in real time... Just to be clear we dont have to talk about a posted watch ... this is a free flowing room on topics on vintage watches and things around watch collecting ... And at the end of the GTG when everyone leaves the CH room... and the room no longer exist ... This thread will remain as a quasi record of the event and we can later go back and refer to.... Hear you at 3:00 pm DST Sunday ....

Hello, everyone.

I am pleased to introduce two recent additions to my collection, which prompted some reflection last night. The first is a Chelsea Clock Company 'breakout' product from 1899/1900, the 'L' movement, also referred to as the 8-day Ship's Bell. This movement played a crucial role in the success of Chelsea Clock Company.

The example shown in the photos was sold on October 2nd, 1900, to the Marine Superintendent (War Department, US Army) at Pier 22, Brooklyn, which is nearby my home.

The second clock is an uncommon 'Eagle' model from the late 1980s, featuring a state-of-the-art Quartz technology hybrid movement, known as 'Chrono-Quartz', developed by Chelsea Clock Company.

Both clocks exemplify the company's impressive technological innovations over the years.

Good Hunting,
Bill.
