Greetings from the beautiful Pacific Northwest!  The 2009 regional showcases Railroad Time Pieces featured a display of authentic Antique and Vintage Railroad pocket watches and Railroad Station regulator clocks, one of which is from Seattle’s Historic King Street Station.

Chet Ekstrand VP chapter 135 presented an informative and entertaining program on railroad watches and how they “engineered” time keeping standards across the continent, fulfilling the urgent need for time synchronization. Paul Bellamy had a show and tell of his and Norm Nelson’s (both members of NAWCC Chapter 50) repair of the King Street Tower Clock, highly lauded by the citizens of Seattle.

Nine of Leon Herbert’s Miniature Reproduction Clocks make a rare appearance at this Regional.  They were headed to the 2009 National (NAWCC)  but plans fell through and this wonderful opportunity was offered to us. Mr. Herbert doesn’t often let these miniature masterpieces travel far from his home in Oregon.
