Everything about The National Association Of Watch And Clock Collectors totally explained

The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) is an American non-profit organization with about 25,000 members. The NAWCC was founded in 1943 by members of the Horological Society of New York and the Philadelphia Watchmakers' Guild who wished to create a national organization. The membership is now divided into over 175 "Chapters" which can be based on a locality or a special interest ie, the local chapter for New York is Chapter 2 and the Early American Watch Club is Chapter 149. The vast majority of chapters are US location based, a number are also in Canada and Australia (which don't have national horological collectors associations) and a handful are elsewhere. Special interest chapters range from "Tower Clocks" to "Horological Science".
   Annually the Ward Francillion Time Symposium is held in late October, where eminent speakers present their research an a focused topic.
   A bi-monthly Bulletin (containing both association news and scholarly articles on horology) is published, and local, regional and national meetings are held.
   The National Watch and Clock Museum was founded in 1977 by the NAWCC and now has a major horological collection and operates one of the world's pre-eminent horological libraries. Museum, library (National Watch and Clock Library) and headquarters are located in Columbia, PA. The NAWCC also runs a School of Horology, where watch and clock repairers are trained.
