Mount Rainier Chapter 135 of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) is a group of individuals who share a common interest in horology, the art and science of timekeeping.  Our members are interested in all aspects of collecting watches and clocks. This includes the history of watches and clocks, as well as the manufacturing, repairing, and restoration, of clocks and watches.

Meetings are typically held in the afternoon of the second Sunday of alternate months at the Norwest School of Horology, in Shoreline, WA. When we don’t meet in person, we have Zoom meetings that are open to all. For our current schedule of upcoming gatherings, please view our Events page.

Each in-person meeting consists of a social hour (with refreshments), a brief business meeting, and a program.  Programs may include discussions of horological topics from the technical to general interest items.  At other times, a “Show & Tell” is held where members take turns showing items and briefly discussing them.  At many meetings, a “Mart” is also held where members may bring items available for sale or trade.
