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.
