HSNY celebrated the 2022 Gala & Awards Ceremony in style at the landmark Harvard Club of New York City, where 200 members and friends reunited to toast to one of the world’s oldest continuously operating horological associations.

In this lecture, Tessa Murdoch will focus on the extraordinary cultural contribution made by Huguenot families in the British Isles, who were part of the diaspora of over 200,000 refugees that left France in the late 17th century to join communities already established in exile. Her talk is based on her recently published book, Europe Divided: Huguenot Refugee Arts and Culture, the culmination of forty years of research. Dr. Murdoch will discuss the Huguenot international network, which spread across northern Europe and beyond to America and South Africa. First-generation Huguenot refugees included hundreds of trained artists, designers and craftsmen. Beyond the French borders, they raised the quality of design and workshop practice, passing on skills to their apprentices, families and to successive generations, who continued to dominate output in the luxury trades. During her presentation, Dr. Murdoch will elaborate on how although silver and silks are the best-known fields with which Huguenot settlers in the British Isles are associated, their significant contribution to architecture, ceramics, design, engraving, furniture, woodwork, sculpture, portraiture and art education were also extraordinary, and provide fascinating insights into the motivation and resolve and achievements of the Huguenots in exile. The lecture will feature key Huguenot horological (clock and watchmaking) contributions to the skilled trades. Horological Society of New York members can attend for the membership price of $10.  Tuesday, April 19, 2022 at 6 P.M. This will be an online lecture.

Thus it always shows the correct date, at least for the somewhat distant future, while a “normal” date display needs periodic adjustment. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new Polaris… The post Introducing The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Perpetual Calendar appeared first on ATimelyPerspective.
