Below are some pictures from Chapter 3 events in 2023. |
Pictures #1 & 2 – John Bruzan provides a splendid presentation on his unique creation of a Tower Clock. |
Picture # 3 – John describes the model he used before he created the frame of the tower clock. In the background of the picture, you will observe sand castings that he used to create the gears for the clock in his foundry located in the garage. Other clock parts duplicates are also seen on the table which John created. |
Picture #4 - A wonderful turnout on a beautiful day as members peruse through horological items at our February meeting at our past meeting site in Willowbrook, Illinois. |
Picture #5 – Another look at our Chapter 3 – Mart in September 2023. While the location of the Chapter 3 mart was in transition due to a situation beyond our control, that didn’t stop our membership as they continued to participate, this time in Burr Ridge, Illinois. |
Picture #6 – In November 2023, the Chapter 3 moved to Elmhurst, Illinois, where we had our best attendance in 7 years. A total of 115 participated. The Elmhurst American Legion Hall was previously the site for Chapter 3 Marts and Meetings from February 2005, until September 2020. |
Picture #7 – Another view of the November mart showing a wide variety of clocks, watches, and clock parts. Chapter 3 and its membership is pleased to return to the Elmhurst site after being away since 2020. |

The mart offers an opportunity for our members to buy and sell general horological items such as ephemera, tools, parts, and complete watches and/or clocks. Many of our members bring in a sampling of their collections to view, sell, or trade during the mart. Brief announcements on chapter activities are given during the mart to heighten participation and create a comfortable environment. Finally, our presentations run the spectrum from "How to Repair a Modern Watch Movement" to "The Internet and Horology: How to locate, value, and dispose of your item." As our website progresses, look for photo highlights that review the many facets of our events.
