Welcome to the web site of the Chicagoland Chapter of theNational Association of Watch & Clock Collectors, Inc., a nonprofit and scientific corporation founded in 1943 and now serving the horological interests of more than 30,000 members around the world.
A National Convention and Mart is held every year in a different part of the country, sponsored by local chapters and drawing several thousand members. The NAWCC is headquartered in Columbia, Pa.
The Chicagoland Chapter has been in existence since 1947, initially known as the Midwest Region Chapter. It is a non-profit organization of individuals located in many states with a common interest in all aspects of horology: timepieces, history, repair, and how horology has affected culture. The National Convention has been held in Chicago several times, the last being 1992. And the Chicagoland Chapter was one of the first chapters to sponsor "Field Suitcase Workshops" in 1994 and 1995.
What We Do
The Chicagoland Chapter is dedicated to the support of the beginner hobbyist and professional alike. The Chapter hosts quarterly meetings [details below]. A typical meeting will consist of a mart, a general club update and then a formal presentation. |

Chicago is a world-class city and is a meeting point for many horology enthusiasts. Most major airlines serve our two major airports and with the central location of the city, it is an easy interstate drive from most of the midwest to our city. The Chapter hosts the Mid-West Regional, occurring in August of each year. The Mid-West Regional is a multi-day event with several chapters coming together to deliver a first-class meeting and mart venue The Chapter has one holiday social gathering in December of each year. All members are welcome to join in the festivities. |
