“What could have been…” is a remark often heard when talking about cancelled racing programs, failed prototypes or one-hit wonders. In the world of motorsports, there have been plenty of examples of this. Cars that raced just once, never managed to move beyond the development stage, or existed only in rumours, even. Think of the […]

Ah, the moon. Romantic, mysterious, and the subject of many Creative Writing 101 poems, our closest celestial body has also wormed its way onto many a watch face over the years. Moonphase watches evoke a sense of sophistication and elegance, and tend to decorate watchmakers’ dressier lines, despite their somewhat subversive practicality.

Urwerk has spent nearly three decades rewriting the rules of how a wristwatch tells time. Since Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner founded the brand in 1997, the core idea has stayed very consistent: wandering satellite hours sweeping past retrograde minutes, executed as a sort of kinetic sculpture.

From traditional cloisonné and champlevé to modern interpretations like those utilized at anOrdain, each enamel dial reflects a delicate balance of chemistry, artistry, and patience, where even the smallest imperfection can mean starting anew. At the November 2025 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Lewis Heath, Founder and Designer of anOrdain, will set out to provide the audience with an understanding of what vitreous, or grand feu enamel is, how it’s done, and the different techniques employed in its production. Heath will also take attendees through his own enduring obsession with enamel, from the coin that started it all, to building a watchmaking factory in Scotland, and the trials and tribulations of building a team around a love of craft along the way. *Doors open at 5:30 PM ET, lecture to begin at 6 PM ET. RSVP is required. ** The lecture video will be available to members immediately, and to the general public following a two-month delay.

Scholarship Program Expansion ($320,000) The donation will triple the size of HSNY's annual scholarship pool, increasing available funds from $160,000 to $480,000. This expanded program will also open eligibility to international applicants for the first time, extending HSNY's mission beyond the United States to aspiring watchmakers worldwide. “As the world becomes more digital and AI-driven, it’s more important than ever to celebrate and preserve human craftsmanship,” said Kyle Vogt, Executive Director of the Vogt Foundation. “We are pleased to be partnering with HSNY to the next generation of watchmaking artisans and to recognize excellence in the field.” “Education is the foundation of our mission at HSNY, and the Vogt Foundation's generosity enables us to extend that mission further than ever before,” said Nicholas Manousos, Executive Director of the Horological Society of New York. “By expanding our scholarships globally, we're not only supporting more students, but we're also strengthening the future of watchmaking as a whole.” Independent Watchmaker Grant Program ($150,000) The Vogt Foundation's gift will also help establish a new Independent Watchmaker Grant Program, providing direct funding to independent watchmakers for essential tools and approved startup expenses. Awards will be determined based on innovation, finishing quality, and design, with special consideration for complications and novel movements. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ANNOUNCEMENT...

Today’s post was written by Miranda Marraccini. If you’re familiar with our library at the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), you might not be surprised to learn we have books in our collection about lathes, sundials, and mechanical singing birds. Maybe you’ve seen other articles where I even mention some of our more offbeat offerings, say, a volume about jukeboxes or a study of the Loch Ness Monster. But what about eyeglasses, thermometers, barometers, and weather vanes? All topics you can read about at our library!  Our collection is especially strong in the field of scientific instruments. Prominent watchmakers often manufactured other optical tools or measuring devices, and even if not produced together, these classes of implements were often sold by the same retailers. Basically, if you can craft minute metal pieces with the extreme delicacy needed to function inside a precise watch, you can make a fine telescope, say, or a really fancy thermometer. Sometimes scientific functions can even be combined with time-telling in complicated watches. In fact, one of the most famous complicated watches of all time, the Leroy 01, contains a thermometer, a barometer, an altimeter, and a hygrometer among its 25 functions. This 2014 article from the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors explains the story of the watch and includes a list of its complications, including Northern and Southern Hemisphere sky maps, local time in 125 cities, and time of sunrise and sunset in Lisbon. Images from one book in our library, “La Leroy 01, Ultra Compliquée,” in French, show a secondary dial on the famed watch with nine indications (of the 25), including hygrometer, barometer, and thermometer. Image 1 shows the dial, and image 2 explains how the hygrometer works inside the movement.  The hygrometer measures humidity using an actual human hair–as anyone knows who has tried to attend a formal wedding in August, hair’s length changes with humidity. The alteration in length can be quantified and paired with an indicator ranging from zero to 100. At least according to my crude translation, this book also claims that blonde hair works better for measuring humidity, proving that blondes not only have more fun, they are also better meteorologists.

The display has been created to tell the story of the last of the great Vulliamy family of Royal clockmakers based at 68 Pall Mall, London, from 1753. Benjamin Lewis  Vulliamy was a five-times Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers and a champion of British craftmanship.

In the world of haute horlogerie, certain moments transcend mere product launches to become defining statements of a manufacture's prowess, and this is precisely what Audemars Piguet has done here. Perhaps these are the first steps for the brand to return to its remarkable origins and history. The new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" Extra-Thin Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph RD#5 ref. 26545XT.OO.1240XT.01 represents precisely such a moment.

Every collector talks about their “grail.” Few actually find it. And fewer still lose it. And only an extreme few manage to find it again.
