At the December 2026 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Simon Jeffs, Founder of Brooklands Watch Company, will explore this fundamental question through the remarkable story of Brooklands — the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, where in 1907, timekeepers measured speed within a thousandth of a second — the same precision used in Formula 1 today. From Percy Lambert’s heroic 100 miles in one hour to John Cobb’s land speed records, from pioneering women racers like Kay Petre to the engineers who understood that “if you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it,”; Brooklands became Britain’s crucible of speed where every victory, every record, every tragedy was defined by the tick of a chronograph. Jeffs will reveal how this obsession with precision timing connected watchmaking to human ambition, featuring figures from Reid Railton to George Daniels (who once owned the legendary 1929 Birkin Bentley that set Brooklands’ lap record), and trace the journey from mechanical stopwatches wielded by officials dodging flying gravel to the sophisticated timing systems that made motorsport possible. The lecture will culminate with Jeffs’ own connection to this heritage through Sir Terence Conran, whose parents were Brooklands regulars and who designed Brooklands’ debut watch — the British design icon’s only timepiece. *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.

Today’s post was written by Miranda Marraccini. I ended my last article with photographs of some truly spectacular bread roosters from a book in our library collection at the Horological Society of New York (HSNY). (What does a rooster-shaped loaf have to do with horology? You’ll have to read it to find out!) Well, after that savory hors d'oeuvre, it turns out the horological masses were positively CLAMORING for more epicurean content. And I’m always happy to focus on food, in my writing as in my life. I’ve whipped up some mouth-watering tidbits for you today: watches that look good enough to eat (but you must resist!), chefs who flash wrist-candy in the kitchen, clock-themed eateries, and in-jokes involving edible hairsprings. Let’s start with breakfast: eggs and bacon, with a side of fresh-cut, glistening veggies. The wacky non-edible Swatch watches in image 1, designed by Alfred Hofkunst, premiered in 1991 as a limited edition. As a promotion, Swatch sold them in actual vegetable markets. There’s a cucumber, a fried egg over a strip of bacon, and a red pepper model, all rendered in delectably detailed plastic and rubber. A page from the book “Swatchissimo, 1981-1991,” which celebrates the first 10 years of Swatch production, shows these watches in all their puffy glory. My favorite feature is the names of the models, which are multilingual puns: “gurke” means “cucumber,” so “Gu(h)rke” incorporates an h in the word to form a pun on the German “uhr,” meaning clock or watch. The breakfast one is called “Bonju(h)r,” a similar French/German pun, while the pepper watch “Verdu(h)ra,” plays on the Italian and Spanish word for “vegetable.” As you might imagine, these food Swatches are collectible, with a set on eBay available for $630 at the time of writing. Have you always wanted to embody the crispness of a crudité tray? Or would you feel perturbed by a brunch guest missing their fork and biting your wrist instead? That’s certainly a risk you’ll have to take if you want to wear one of these. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
