Watchmen’s clocks, or watchclocks, are used in security work to provide a printed record which verifies that a security officer was physically present at specified locations at specified dates and times. Detex is the best-known name and the recognized world leader in the security industry primarily because of our mechanical watchclocks, the Newman and Guardsman.

The Newman was the first portable watchclock of American design. Built to a high standard of quality and ruggedly constructed, it is simple in operation and provides maximum service with minimum wear. The Newman was also the first portable watchclock to receive the labels of Underwriters Laboratories and Factory Mutual. It is approved by insurance companies worldwide. 

When using the Newman, a record is made when a tour station key is inserted into the clock and turned. This creates an embossed impression on a preprinted paper dial within the watchclock. This records the station and the time that the officer visited this location. 

The Newman watchclock has an 11-jeweled, spring-wound movement that requires rewinding only once a week. 

The Guardsman operates with a continuous roll of preprinted paper tape to record station visits. This records your officers’ activities for up to 120 hours without changing the tape. It provides unique, unbroken, mechanical supervision of your officers on weeknights and weekends, during holidays and extended plant closings.

The Guardsman is simple and reliable, and is also approved by Underwriters Laboratories.
