Lathem Time Clock - a brief overview

George Lathem and his son Louie Sr. founded Lathem in the year 1919. They began by selling time recorders and watchman patrol clocks to the factories. Today they have grown to a position where the small and big companies have depended on their time clocks, time recorders, time stamps and so on. Some of the products manufactured by Lathem apart from mechanical and electronic time clocks are wall clocks, signal devices, timecards, touch stations and employee management software. Lathem products have become so much of part of life that people use it without even realizing it.

Lathem produced both digital and analog clocks. The analog clocks can be placed anywhere on the wall. They come in the round and square shape or size varying from 10 inch to 15 inch. The standard size is the 12-inch round case. To prevent tampering the stem sets are mounted behind the case top and the fine brass movements provide silent and trouble free operation. Digital clocks can be used as a stand-alone system and the four-digit display is visible even from 100 feet. The nine volt alkaline battery provides continuous time keeping even during power failure so as to display the correct time when power resumes. These features make these clocks reliable and perfect for any business environment.
