Theodore R. Crom (1920-2008)

Horology lost a legend on the 18th of January 2008. On that day, Ted Crom passed away after an extended illness, endinga lifetime of accomplishment in both his professional and personal life. I can almost hear Ted on that early morning,quoting Winston Churchill to all who would listen, “I am ready to meet my maker, whether my maker is ready for thegreat ordeal of meeting me is quite another matter.”

Born on the 4th of July in Evanston, Illinois, he trained with the Army from 1943-44 at the University of Florida. Afterserving in the Aleutian Islands, Lt. Crom returned to Gainesville to wed Wyona Nitz (Nonie), founded his engineeringfirm, the Crom Corporation, and began sixty years of support for the University of Florida Gators. Through the years, Tedand Nonie raised four sons, while the Crom Corporation grew to 500 employees and Ted amassed a private horologicaltool collection well-known throughout the world.

Educated in engineering at the University of Maryland, Columbia University and the University of Florida, Ted receivedan honorary Doctorate in Engineering from the University of Maryland for his contributions to the field. Little knowntoday, he also lettered in wrestling, gymnastics, diving, and was accomplished in Judo. I watched as a pickpocket learned ofTed’s athletic prowess at the Portebello outdoor antiques market in London in 1998, when Ted, at age 78, wrestled ayoung thief to the ground to reclaim his stolen wallet. Today, at the University of Florida, is the Ted Crom GymnasticsStudio, the state-of-the-art official practice venue for Gator gymnasts.

Ted’s son Gary (Frank Gary) was his father’s constant companion as they traveled the world in search of horologicalartifacts, little-known archives and interesting people. Gary, at age 18, (almost 40 years ago) is pictured in Early LancashireHorological Tools and Their Makers sorting the vast collection of Dr. David S. Torrens (1897-1967) and preparing it forsafe transport to the “Crom Museum” back in Florida. Their travels brought them to numerous countries, where theybefriended the world’s most renowned horological craftsmen, scholars, collectors, as well as the unsung heroes of theserious researcher; librarians, who carefully catalogue, maintain and protect archival treasures.

Ted’s horological and tool-related affiliations span half dozen countries and are seemingly endless. He was a member ofthe National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, the British Horological Institute, the Antiquarian HorologicalSociety, the American Watchmaker’s Institute, the Society of Ornamental Turners and Ornamental Turners International,to name just a few. The respective journals are replete with Crom articles and contributions as he was never just a member,but always an active member.

Joining the NAWCC in 1953 with membership number 1811, Ted was a Star Fellow, a frequent lecturer at local, regionaland national conventions, a regular contributor to the Bulletin, a National Director 1969-1973, Museum Trustee 1979-1981, Museum Acquisitions Committee member 1997-2003, the recipient of numerous Certificates of Appreciation forhis contributions to the field of horology and recipient of the James W. Gibbs Literary Award in 1990 for his horologicalwriting. Few amassed an avocational curriculum vitae that could fill so many pages.

Ted Crom’s legacy as an international authority on horological tools is recorded in the six books that he authored andpublished on the subject between 1970 and 1994. It is within these nearly 2,000 pages that the secrets of long-forgottentrades are unveiled and the pivotal role of horology in the birth of the Industrial Revolution is told. Ted instinctively knewthe importance of this material and its’ far reaching implications for our modern technological world.

The stone streets of Prescott (Lancashire, England) are quiet now with the watch and tool industry that is just a footnotein the collective minds of the iPod generation. In the graveyard at the Parish Church of St. Mary lies the remains oftoolmaker John Wyke amongst numerous watchmakers and outworkers from a by-gone trade that defined the industry andconsumed the town in the 19th century. Nearby in Warrington, the horological supplier Peter Stubs and his worldwideinfluence on the trade would be forgotten, except by the interested few. We remember you, Ted Crom, for telling theirstories, uncovering their secrets and revealing the remarkable accomplishments of horologists throughout the world forthis and future generations. Farewell Old Friend!
