The Waterbury Regulator No.61 was produced during Waterbury\'s business peak from 1903 to 1917 because ofdemand that stemmed greatly from the advancements made in the railroad. Withthe railroad came schedules, and people needed to know what the time was to agreater accuracy than simply night or day. As such, precision regulators werefound chiefly in train stations, banks, and hotels, yet demand grew for smallertimepieces, such as precision watches, in large cities. In addition, peoplebegan to move to those cities where time became important in one\'s work placeinstead of generalized on one\'s farm. As the world became more modernized andin effect, smaller, time became a necessity not only to keep trains fromcolliding and economy running, but also for the common man who simply wantedthe time of day.

In 1903, The WaterburyRegulator No. 61 was among those clocks with a second hand and probablyconsidered nearly extraneous in its accuracy. At that time, no one needed toknow the time to within a second, except perhaps in the railroad\'s case andthose persons servicing the precision watches. Presently, the WaterburyRegulator No. 61 remains a superbly accurate clock even by today\'s standards ofa precision movement.

The case is 96 1/4\" tall. The finials could be removed if necessary.
