Ithaca Calendar Clock
National Repair Center USA

The Ithaca Calendar Clock Company was established in 1865 using Henry Horton’s perpetual roller-type calendar clock patent. Horton (1819-1885) was granted two calendar clock patents in 1865 and 1866.  Because Horton’s clock was a perpetual-calendar clock, it could be adjusted to automatically compensate for a leap year.

 

From about 1855, until the turn of the century, calendar clocks were very popular, and larger companies manufactured several models of them. Most calendar clocks used a simple
mechanism that required corrections to be made to accommodate leap year and the irregular number of days in the months. With the perpetual calendar device, however, no manual changes had to be made for the entire year.

 

Ithaca specialized in calendar clocks, but Horton could not find manufacturers in the Connecticut area who would use his mechanism in their clocks. He was independent enough to establish a factory in Ithaca, New York, where the cases and calendar mechanisms were made.
