Come and Share Our Love for all things horological
Experience fellowship, learning, sharing, and growing in the hobby. We have a monthly meeting on the second Saturday of most months. Everyone is welcome no matter what your specific interest or experience level might be.
Meetings begin at 8am with some time to socialize, then usually last until 11am or noon. There is no cost to attend a meeting. Currently we are meeting in the Fellowship Hall of Grace Community Church – 1021 Campbell Rd., Houston, Texas 77055 The church is just north of I 10, and on the west side of Campbell Rd. on the west side of Houston (Spring Branch/ Villages area.) The Fellowship Hall is the first building on the left as you enter the parking lot.
In addition to Chapter business, meetings usually include a Show and Tell, with members sharing something they think will interest the other members, and a presentation by a guest or member on some aspect of watches, clocks, horology, or a related field. Members are usually available afterward to help with any technical issues someone might be having with a clock or watch project.
