New!

The Watch & Clock Bulletin is aware that some of its readers have visual impairments. Therefore, we have begun to experiment with sound files for Bulletin articles. This month we provide two sound files: one for “Profiles in Time: Robert C. Cheney’s Dream Job,” by Bob Frishman, FNAWCC, and the other for the National Watch & Clock Museum’s feature, “An Argument for Popular Culture,” by Rebecca Justinus. Please know that these are simply first steps – there will be glitches. Please provide any comments by emailing Editor Christiane Odyniec at This email address is being protected from spambots.
