About The Chapter
Welcome to our web site
We are Chapter 92 South-Western Ontario of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC). We are based in London, Ontario, Canada and draw members from all over Southern Ontario.
The purpose of the club is to
- stimulate interest in timepieces of all kinds
- foster interest in the collecting and preservation of time pieces
- facilitate the sale or purchase of time pieces by members
- co-operate with individuals and organizations in exhibiting time pieces
- collect and preserve horological data and material for posterity
- disseminate information regarding the mechanism, repair and preservation of timepieces
If you are interested or curious about clocks and watches we encourage you to attend a meeting. You just need to bring your questions and have some fun. Feel free to contact one of the executive listed below, or just show up at the door!

February 5, 2012 "Tower Clocks"
The highlight of the meeting will be a chance to see the 2011 National Convention Craft Contest winning Tower Clock Movement featured on the cover of the latest NAWCC Bulletin. Dave Ornelas and Ben Orszulak, won two first place awards, including the very prestigious "People's Choice" award. This award is determined from votes cast by the members of NAWCC who view all of the Craft Contest entries and then vote for their favourite.
In addition, Tim Manuel will present an up-date on the repair of the Hess Tower Clock in Zurich and the group who worked on the Thamesville Clock will show a short video filmed for CBC Windsor about that clock.
The display theme for this meeting is Canadian Clocks. Bring your favourite Canadian clock, or any clock with a ‘Canadian' connection.

In Memorium
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of two long-time members, Ken Tuff and Frank Hill.
We extend sympathy from the entire club to the Tuff and Hill families. Ken and Frank will be greatly missed. Donations to the Canadian Clock Museum have been made in their memory on behalf of NAWCC Chapter 92. Details are in the November 2011 newsletter.
