National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors

Founded in 1943, The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc. (NAWCC) is a nonprofit scientific organization that serves as a unique educational, cultural, and social resource for its membership and the public at large. Members include hobbyists, students, educators, casual collectors, and professionals in related retail and manufacturing trades. The one common bond (and main membership requirement) is a fascination with the art and science of timekeeping (horology). Join the NAWCC.

The NAWCC Library and Research Center

The NAWCC has one of the largest, if not the largest, research libraries devoted to timekeeping in the world; with over 2,500 volumes and more than 21,000 patent copies. The Library staff is available during and after class to aid students in their research. Instructors also allow time during school hours to use the Library.

Students enrolled in repair program courses may tour the National Watch and Clock Museum at no additional charge. With over 8,000 timekeeping items from the sixteenth century to the present, this museum is the largest of its type in the United States.

SOH Watch and Clock Repair Center

Based in the same building with the NAWCC School of Horology, our SOH Center performs vintage repair for Tourneau. In addition, our technicians service and repair timepieces for the members of the local community.
