John Harrison and a Clock for All Seasons: The Creation of the Gridiron Pendulum Eddie Landzberg, Horologist (New York, New York) Monday, May 5, 2025 Before creating his famed marine chronometers (1730–59) to determine longitude at sea, John Harrison focused on land-based timekeeping, striving to build pendulum clocks of the highest possible precision. In the years following the Scientific Revolution and on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution, pendulum clocks governed travel, work, and daily life. The United Kingdom’s variable climate posed a special challenge for clock precision: colder air contracted metal pendula while warmer air expanded them, shortening and lengthening the swing period, respectively. In 1726, Harrison invented the gridiron pendulum. By connecting alternating rods of metals such as brass and steel, each with different thermal expansion rates, Harrison’s gridiron compensated for temperature shifts and stabilized the pendulum’s length and period. At the May 2025 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Eddie Landzberg will present his undergraduate research on John Harrison’s gridiron pendulum. In an independent study at Harvard University, Landzberg examined Harrison’s original manuscripts in London and constructed a brass and steel gridiron pendulum. In his lecture, Landzberg will discuss the scientific discoveries, climate conditions, and horological innovations that set the scene for Harrison’s work. He will further discuss how the gridiron pendulum functions, reflect on its early reception, and share insights from the reproduction process. 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. RSVP Gala Recap: HSNY Celebrates 159 Years of Tradition & Awards $160K in Scholarships! GALA RECAP & IMAGES HSNY Expands Educational Offerings with New Academic Programming Beginning May 20, 2025! The Horological Society of New York (HSNY), America’s oldest watchmaking guild, founded in 1866, announces today an expansion of its educational initiatives with the launch of new academic programming set to begin this spring. Building on its 159-year legacy of advancing the art and science of horology, HSNY is introducing a suite of courses and learning opportunities designed to meet the growing demand for comprehensive horological education. The new academic offerings will include structured six-week courses led by accredited New York City professors and will be offered to students ages 18 and up. Courses are tailored for enthusiasts and no prior experience is required to enroll. “Our goal is to make horological education more accessible and relevant for today’s world,” said Nicholas Manousos, Executive Director of HSNY. “Our new academic programming offers a unique educational experience grounded in tradition but looking to the future.” COURSE 1 | America at Night (Tuesdays from May 20 — June 24) COURSE 2 | Time: The Big Questions (Wednesdays from May 21 — June 25)  Classes will be held at HSNY’s Jost Bürgi Research Library located at 20 West 44th Street, Suite 501, New York, NY 10036.

Today’s post was written by library intern Freddy Thompson.  The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) has a wonderful library full of books on everything from escapements to celestial navigation to the Loch Ness monster (yes, really), but did you also know we have significant archival holdings, too? While books (and a few of our more bookish blooks) can be neatly cataloged and arranged on the shelf by their Library of Congress call numbers, archival items can be a lot trickier. These items can range from exhibition flyers to diaries to T-shirts and jigsaw puzzles (all real examples in HSNY's holdings), so they need to be broken up into categories and described in finding aids. One of the biggest collections we have within the archives is our brand catalogs, and it's been my job these past few months to organise and describe them. I have a fondness for archival arranging, no matter how dull the materials, but this particular collection has taught me more about the history of watch and clock advertising than I thought there was to learn, so I thought I'd share some highlights with you. What is a Brand Catalog, Anyway? In short? It’s a big ad.  Brands release these periodically — often once a year, sometimes once a month, or (for brands going for a fashion angle) seasonally — to show off their current products. Sometimes they have prices — whether printed directly into the catalog or in an attached supplement — but sometimes they don’t. If you have to ask, you can’t afford it (and it might be sold for different prices in different markets).  Physically, they tend to exist somewhere on the continuum between “booklet” and “magazine”, though some of the bigger ones look just like a book, and some of the smaller ones are flimsy enough to approach the pamphlet label. What separates them from a leaflet or a brochure or another form of advertising is usually just their size and extent — we definitely have a few gray areas, but I tend to make the call that a brand catalog must be showing off more than one model of watch in order to count. And what separates them from the big showcase volumes of brand watches we have is their manner of publication: our main library room has books with ISBNs that were printed to be sold, whereas the brand catalogs in the archives were printed as advertising material without ISBNs (and sometimes, annoyingly, any identifying information at all).
