Mill Talk: Chelsea Clock Company—146 Years of Boston Clockmaking

The clockmaking tradition carried out by Chelsea Clock Company traces it’s roots back to the founding of the Harvard Clock Company in 1880 by Joseph Eastman. This talk will trace the evolution of the Boston style marine clock from it’s humble beginnings as a gauge clock through to the modern day manufacturing of these storied clocks. Chelsea survives today as the last American clock company still in operation and one of a few manufacturing mechanical clock movements in the world today. With many important ties to Waltham, this talk is sure to appeal to the interest of local clock & watch enthusiasts alike.

Presented by Patrick Mont, Curatorial Fellow at the Willard House & Clock Museum.
