First Look – The new Nomos Tangente 2date, and The new In-House Calibre DUW 4601
If you’ve been following Nomos for a while, you certainly know that despite a certain German rigour and classic minimalistic inspiration (so-called Bauhaus), the Glashütte-based brand doesn’t like to do things too seriously – at least, design-wise. Small touches of colour, original shapes and a youthful approach are key elements of the brand’s design language. […]

Rémi Maillat of Krayon lectures Oct.7 🌞
Krayon: Artistic and Technical Creations
Rémi Maillat, Founder, Krayon (Neuchâtel, Switzerland)
Monday, October 7, 2024
We all depend on the sun rising and setting each day and generally know the times it does so. But determining those times with a mechanical watch is complicated. With a deep understanding of that issue, Rémi Maillat, Founder of Krayon, has invented a mechanical timepiece that can display sunrise and sunset times nearly anywhere in the world.
At the October 2024 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Maillat will offer a deep dive into the brand, unveiling the complexity behind their timepieces. Maillat will explore not only the mathematical and mechanical aspects but also the astronomical implications embedded in what appear to be simple designs. In addition, Maillat will highlight the artistic importance that remains at the heart of all Krayon creations.
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.

Reading Time at HSNY: The Clockmaker in the Library With the Winding Key
This post is part of a series, Reading Time at HSNY, written by our librarian, Miranda Marraccini.
Happy Horror-ological Halloween! Last year in honor of this spooky season I wrote about watches that kill, uncanny automata, and goblins of Swiss watchmaking. I featured a recent novel called “Death Watch,” in which a watch that might just be capable of severing its wearer’s wrist becomes the “must-have accessory for end-time capitalism.”
This year I’m focusing on other mystery novels and thrillers in our library collection at the Horological Society of New York–which includes fiction! Not long ago, I was given a gift of an Author Clock, which displays the time using different literary quotations for each minute of the day. For instance, a line from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Scandal in Bohemia” that appears on the face of the clock at 3 p.m. reads: “At three o’clock precisely I was at Baker Street, but Holmes had not yet returned.”
Perusing the quotes as the Author Clock cycled through them reminded me that accurate timekeeping is especially important in mystery or crime novels, since witnesses and investigators often need to reconstruct a series of fatal events. For instance, in the Agatha Christie book below, a chapter begins: “To use police terms: at 2:59 P.M on September 9th, I was proceeding along Wilbraham Crescent in a westerly direction.”
Many adults who come into the library ask me fondly if we have mystery classics from their childhood like the first Nancy Drew novel, “The Secret of the Old Clock”–and we do! In the story, Nancy, the intrepid daughter of a criminal defense attorney, tries to do a good deed by finding a missing will whose contents will aid a deserving family. She pursues her investigative aim, and some thieves who get involved later, through a combination of quick thinking and even quicker driving.

The Clockmakers’ Museum, housed at the Science Museum in South Kensington is launching its next annual programme of temporary displays, which will showcase extraordinary objects from public and private horological collections. The second of these, titled Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy: A Champion of British Craftsmanship, will open to the public on the 13th of November 2024. 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. He was also one of the driving forces behind the formation of the Clockmakers’ Museum. Learn more HERE.

The Duality of Time: A Tale of Two Ultra-Thins
After a couple of decades of oversized watches, the allure of ultra-thin timepieces has gripped the watch world. So, while not a new concept – the first forays into this realm were pioneered 75 years ago – we can all agree that the idea of a credit-card-thin watch is intriguing.
