FROM INNOVATION TO TRADITION
WEEMS & PLATH
Weems & Plath aptly puts it: innovation became tradition. Since 1928, they've been building nautical instruments that not only look good in the cabin, but above all do what they're supposed to: measure reliably and read clearly, without any hassle. Think of solid ship's clocks, barometers, and many practical navigation and weather instruments with sturdy casings, clear scales, and reliable movements. All in a classic design.
They also stay on course behind the scenes: Weems & Plath supports their quality with exceptional guarantees and, according to them, is working towards a more conscious business operation, with a focus on reduction, reuse and recycling, on land and at sea.

FAQs
For reliable navigation and weather instruments for onboard; from ship's clocks to barometers, with a long maritime history.
Both. They're made for serious use, and that's precisely why they're perfect for the water sports enthusiast who goes out to sea with the right navigation equipment.
Clear scales, solid construction and designs that are made for quick and clear reading, even in a moving cabin.
Usually yes: many clocks and barometers are designed for easy wall mounting. Make sure you choose a stable location and follow the mounting instructions for best results.
Yes, often. After installation, it's wise to (lightly) calibrate the barometer based on the current air pressure at your location (e.g., via a reliable weather source). After that, it usually only needs to be checked occasionally, especially after a move, significant elevation changes, or significant temperature fluctuations.
