Weems & Plath Eastport Small Comfortmeter
75 years ago Captain Philip Van Horn Weems (USNR) founded this company with a single purpose in mind: to improve sea, air and space navigation methods and safety. The "Grand ole Man of Navigation" committed much of his life to simplifying techniques, and inventing and adapting new, accurate and time-saving inventions. The precise measurement of time has been central to the progress of navigation throughout navigation history. In 1937, Captain Weems invented the Second Setting Watch to help aviators plot their courses more accurately. To commemorate the 75 years of rich heritage of Weems & Plath ® that is closely linked to this man who strove to perfect the field of navigation, we are pleased to introduce our elegant Anniversary Collection of ship's clocks and barometers. To stay true to the high standard set by Captain Weems the quality and workmanship of these fine ship's instruments are unsurpassed. Each piece in this series is created from solid, forged brass that is hand polished and lacquered. The collection includes the finest German movements, dials, hands and components available in the world. The distinctive dial of each instrument is intricately etched to create a subtle but rich pattern. All instruments carry a Manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.
The thermometer displays temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius on the left scale, and the hygrometer shows % of relative humidity on the right.
- Dial: 3-1/2".
- Base: 4-1/2".
- Depth: 1-1/4".
