Meetings
Our meetings consist of a "Mart", where members share all things horological, by selling or exchanging in a marketplace setting.​
Our "Mart" is always filled with great items for purchase. There is no cost to members to bring in items for sale (except the May Invitational). Bring in one item or a whole table full! This is a great way for members to sell items they no longer need, and other members to purchase items they have always been looking for.
As well we have seminars at each meeting where we share information about various aspects of our hobby. These include technical subjects relating to watches and clocks, historical information, and personal experiences.​
Our Premier Meeting of the Year is our Premiere Event - The May Invitational.
Our regular meetings begin at 12:00 p.m.(Noon) - 4pm
