Malaika Crawford Links Fashion & Watch Collecting, March 4! 👗
Watches as Expressions of Culture: Making the Link Between Decades in Fashion and Collecting / Design
Malaika Crawford, Style Editor, Hodinkee (New York, New York)
March 4, 2024
Many see high-end watches as a token of forever, but view fashion as a fleeting fad. Malaika Crawford, Style Editor at Hodinkee, argues that both are fundamentally expressions of personal style. The gap between the two comes down to a dichotomy of permanence and obsolescence. But, ultimately, fashion and pop culture both do influence watch design - as well as the way we collect, consume, and wear watches.
At the March lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Crawford will explore the intersection of fashion and watches by looking at the design links between them through decades past. The use of black as a symbol of extreme modernity, or the similarities between Yves Saint Laurent and Gérald Genta, for example. In examining the parallels, we can better understand the impact and significance of fashion on the world of horology.
Doors open at 6PM ET, lecture to begin at 7PM ET. RSVP is required.
The lecture video will be available to members immediately, and to the general public following a two-month delay.

Reading Time at HSNY: All Books Great and Small
This post is part of a series, Reading Time at HSNY, written by our librarian, Miranda Marraccini.
When it comes to watches, they come in all sizes. Bigger is not necessarily better. There are dainty dials, shining with miniature detail above equally minute movements, marvels of micromechanics. There are huge slabs that look like they need their own checked luggage tags. And there are medium-sized watches that try to be all things to all people–as ubiquitous as a Toyota Camry.
The same goes for books. Today I’ll share with you some of the biggest and smallest specimens in the HSNY library. Some are so large they could be used as solar shades (if we weren’t concerned about UV damage to the books) while others could be smuggled in your cheek.
The big books in the library were easy for me to find because, well, they announce their presence. They’re the Panerais in the room, beefy, all-around chonks. If you’re a librarian who works with them, you can go ahead and skip arm day. In image 1, you can see a selection of our biggest books, with two 750 mL bottles for scale. Their publication dates range from 1765 to 2023.
One prominent, incredibly unwieldy book in our collection is J. P. Morgan’s catalog of watches (the red book in image 1). This might sound familiar, because the name J. P. Morgan is even more omnipresent in American life than a Toyota Camry. Morgan, a financier, was a collector of many things, not just clocks and watches–a visit to the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City will give you a sense of the scale of his collection of rare books, fine art, gems, and other objects. Morgan donated his watches to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1913, where they remain to this day. We have a copy of Morgan’s illustrated collection catalog.

I don’t think I would be wrong in saying that Girard-Perregaux doesn’t get much attention these days. The brand seems to pop up on the radar every so often, but — at least in the circles of obsessives I travel in — their name seems to resist coming up in discussion, and I have only very […]
