NEW CURATOR JOINS CLOCK MUSEUM
COLUMBIA, PA: The National Watch and Clock Museum recently hired a new Curator of Collections to continue the legacy of Carter Harris, who retired from the Museum in August. Kim Jovinelli joined the Museum December 1 and will be responsible for the professional preservation, documentation, security, and presentation of the Museum collection. These tasks are not completed alone; other staff and knowledgeable members and volunteers will assist, and Carter Harris has generously offered his support in working with Kim in this transition.
Kim received her undergraduate degree in Archaeology from Millersville University and a graduate degree from The University of the Arts with a concentration in Collections Care and Management. She was the assistant curator for the Delaware County Historical Society and a volunteer with Independence National Historic Park’s National Park Service Archaeology and Collections Care and Management Department. Her experience gave her curatorial exposure to mechanical and technological collections and their proper care and exhibition. Kim was awarded The University of the Arts Museum Communication Award for Service to the Museum Field for the creation of a practical guide to collections management for board members of small and medium-sized historical societies. In addition to Kim’s curatorial education and experience, she brings an extensive knowledge of software products essential to the proper care, preservation, and presentation of museum collections.
“Kim will be making improvements to the Museum's collection management practices, including documentation, security, and access to the collection. I am excited to have someone as passionate about her profession as Kim joining our staff. She will bring a fresh perspective to our collection and our story,” states Museum Director Noel Poirier.
In response to her new position, Kim shares, “I am very excited to be working with the National Watch and Clock Museum! History is my passion, and preserving it is important to me. The history stored at the Museum is an amazing amalgam of old and new, which is going to make for an amazing experience. After all, what is history but the passage of time?”

FROZEN IN TIME
COLUMBIA, PA: “Do you want to build a snowman” – clock? Make a snowman that won’t melt!
On January 24 the National Watch and Clock Museum will hold three workshops at 10 a.m., noon, or 2 p.m. for snowman lovers to come and make their own snowman clock. Workshops will include making a snowman clock, enjoying cookies and hot chocolate, and touring the Museum. The cost is $15 per child (ages 4 and up) and $8 for adults ($7 for seniors).
“The Museum is always thrilled to bring in visitors for events like this one. Traditionally, we’ve offered clock-making workshops using recycled CDs, dinner plates, and even flip-flops. Now in the doldrums of winter, Frozen in Time offers families a chance to break the cabin fever, share in something creative, and learn a little bit about time –something we’re especially fond of,” shares Marketing and Special Events Coordinator Kim Craven.
Please call 717-684-8261, ext. 211 for reservations. Seating is limited for each session.

It’s so important that we preserve and share the knowledge of time for future generations by becoming leaders in education, not only for members but for anyone who wants to learn.

SANTA SETS HIS WATCH AT TIME MUSEUM
COLUMBIA, PA: No one needs to watch his time more that Santa does! With the days ticking down to that big night of traveling to all the homes he must visit, Santa knows the importance of time. There’s no better place to synchronize his watch than at the center of time - the National Watch and Clock Museum.
After he arrives at the Museum on Saturday, December 13, and sets his magical watch, children may visit with Santa Claus from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm and share with him their holiday wishes. Parents are welcomed to take pictures and enjoy yuletide music and punch and cookies around the Christmas tree.
“I was always convinced, even as a child, that Santa was able to manipulate time somehow in order to deliver all of those Christmas gifts,” states Museum Director Noel Poirier. “It’s only natural that Santa would want to come to the only national museum dedicated to the story and technology of time and timekeeping.”

GERHART HONORED FOR HIS TIME AT THE WATCH AND CLOCK MUSEUM
COLUMBIA, PA: Volunteers are the lifeblood of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors’ (NAWCC) Watch & Clock Museum and the Library & Research Center. In 2013 more than 50 dedicated volunteers gave nearly 6,000 documented hours—a huge savings for the Association.
The NAWCC named Marietta resident Gregory Gerhart Volunteer of the Year. Recently, Greg received an award for his generous contribution of time.
Greg’s uncle, a member of the NAWCC, introduced him to the Association more than 40 years ago. Gerhart has been a member for many years, and after he retired from the Kellogg Company, he decided to pursue his interest in the NAWCC by volunteering at the Museum. He regularly enjoys greeting worldwide members and visitors, guiding group tours, and taking on various Museum gallery projects. Greg’s positive experience now includes serving as a part-time gallery attendant.
“Greg took it upon himself to make improvements in the Museum’s lighting by using his technical experience in rebuilding the Museum’s display case lighting units. With funds from a donor and support from the units’ manufacturer, Greg was able to singlehandedly improve the experience of our Museum visitors by ensuring that the objects on display are adequately lighted. It simply wouldn’t have been possible without him,” shares Museum Director Noel Poirier.
Volunteers are integral to the National Watch & Clock Museum. These dedicated individuals provide much of the manpower needed for daily operations, programs, special projects, and events. From event planning to education aides to exhibit construction, to archival research, volunteers get involved at various levels that fit the individuals’ time and commitment availability. If you have extra time on your hands and are interested in volunteering, please call the volunteer coordinator at (717) 684-8261, ext. 237 to request an application. The application is also available on the Museum’s website at www.museumoftime.org.

HIDDEN TREASURES REVEALED
COLUMBIA, PA: The National Watch & Clock Museum has amassed its collection of more than 12,000 objects over the course of 40 plus years. The Museum’s exhibit spaces and themed galleries allow for the regular exhibition of only a third or so of the total collection. Most of the Museum collection is kept in secure storage, and exhibited occasionally as part of a special exhibit or maintained as a study object for scholars and horologists.
A number of objects in the collection may not fit neatly into the broader story told by the Museum, but are, nonetheless, aesthetically pleasing, horologically interesting, or in some cases, odd. This exhibit pulls the curtain back on some of the objects that rarely are seen or appreciated because they are in storage most of the time.
“The Museum asked staff, volunteers, and interns to explore the collection and identify objects that they thought deserved to be enjoyed by, or shared with, our Museum visitors. This exhibit is the result of that effort to highlight our Backroom Curiosities. We hope you enjoy seeing these objects as much as we did selecting them!” shares Museum Director Noel Poirier.
Backroom Curiosities will be on display through April 2015.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM
It’s easy to take the watches and clocks in your home or office for granted. With a quick glance, there’s the time telling you whether it’s time to head to work, get lunch, pick up the kids, or go to bed.
The Museum, located in Columbia, is truly the center of time and is home to close to 12,000 watches and clocks. Why not bring your family and go on an exploration of time?! After a stroll through the Museum’s time tunnel, you will find yourself transported to the time of Stonehenge and water clocks, where timekeeping first got its start. From there, you begin your journey through time where thousands of years later (or an hour and a half in museum time) your family will stand speechless before the Mars Clock wondering, “Where did the time go?”
The Family Overnight is a unique opportunity for children ages 6 to 12 to spend the night at the Museum and enjoy activities including decorating a clock to take home, munching on a snack, and exploring the many Museum’s exhibits. March 28 is the next sleepover. Cost is $20 for children and $12 for adults, with payment due prior to the sleepover. The adult chaperone must be at least 21 years old and is required for every five children participating.
Admission includes:
• Scavenger hunt activity through the Museum
• Museum exploration
• Make-a-clock program for children
• Snack and light breakfast
• Souvenir patch for children
Register by March 24 for the Family Overnight by calling 717-684-8261, ext. 237 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to reserve a space and receive an information packet. Space in this program is limited to 80 participants.

FOR VISITORS’ EYES ONLY
A JAMES BOND WATCH EXHIBIT: A 50-YEAR HISTORY THROUGH 2014
"'James Bond' was an obvious way to introduce our Wristwatches Gallery as a whole," said Noel Poirier, Museum Director. "Our past Bond watch presentations have been quite popular, and we regularly get requests for more on James Bond's watches."It's a theme that provides both a hook and a solid way to organize highlights from five decades of watchmaking. Over the course of a little over 50 years, starting with the waning of Gruen as it stood among watchmakers in the late-1950s, through present-day Omega with its proprietary co-axial technology, 'Bond' gives us a unique means to periodically check in on developments through the 1960s, the quartz revolution, and premium-brand preferences of today. Ian Fleming and the James Bond movie history mark some of the most significant changes in style, power supplies, and our very definition of what a wristwatch can and should do."
