"Paul M. Chamberlain- Redefining Collecting"
Chamberlain was born during the Civil War in the young town of Three Oaks Michigan. He went to Ashburnham School in Massachusetts and attended Olivet College in Michigan. He graduated from Princeton with an Engineering degree and taught there for several years. His book “It’s About Time” was edited and produced by his second wife Margaret Chamberlain shortly after he died using over 150 articles he had published in horological journals from 1915 to 1939.
Chamberlain’s interest in watches and clocks grew from curiosity about their mechanism and curiosity about the people who created them.
Unlike many collectors the value of the artifacts was of essentially no interest except for what he was able to learn from them.

About the Speaker
Tom McIntyre earned his Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics in 1954 from the University of California, Los Angeles. He then discovered a love for clocks that has lasted for more than 50 years and led to the discovery of Paul Chamberlain’s book “It’s About Time.” At the time of his retirement, he was elected 2nd Vice President of the NAWCC and served in a variety of roles as Treasurer and Director for a total of 10 years. He has been responsible for the technical operations of the NAWCC Forums since 2011. His interest in watches led him to the McIntyre Watch Co. and he prepared a set of three NAWC national-convention presentations on Charles DeLong, Fred McIntyre and the McIntyre Watch Co. He created a display of related factory drawings and artifacts. |
