They were a technical mystery that embodied the very height of craftsmanship, fashion, and artistry in the world, and conveyed one’s stature in society. At the January 2025 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Antiquarian Horologist Richard Newman will introduce “Early American Pocket Watches,” HSNY’s latest exhibit that spans 125 years of American watchmaking. From the earliest known American-signed watch, made in about 1715, to watches made during the early Federal period after the War of Independence, Newman will take us on a journey through the beginnings of an era that laid the foundations for the American watch industry. 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 Previous Lecture: Beyond the Tick: Mastering the Art of Escapements Bernhard Lederer, Master Watchmaker and Founder, Lederer Timepieces (Saint-Blaise, Switzerland) December 2, 2024 VIEW THE LECTURE Video recordings of lectures are available immediately to HSNY members, and to the general public with a two-month delay.

Today’s post was jointly written by Miranda Marraccini and St John Karp.  Happy New Year from the Horological Society of New York’s Jost Bürgi Research Library! At the end of December, as a light snow fell over our headquarters on 44th Street in Manhattan, coating our elaborate ironwork fire escape, the library was bustling with holiday tourists. The end of the year gave us a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come since the modern library’s grand opening in 2022–the time has flown! Our library has grown from just an exciting idea at the beginning of the pandemic to a thriving, functioning resource and social hub for people interested in all facets of horology. In the last year, we more than doubled our visitor count: 776 people visited in 2023, while 1,710 people visited the library in 2024.  Of course, with this explosion in library use, we needed to expand our staff. We hired St John Karp as a part-time intern in January, and quickly promoted him to full-time, first as Assistant Librarian, and now as Librarian. St John’s hard work has enabled us to expand our services for members, visitors, and researchers (image 1). Library patrons in 2024 visited for all sorts of reasons, and sometimes no reason at all, and all were welcome! Many of the people who use our library are walk-ins, who see our sign on the street (image 2). We love introducing tourists to our world, and we never mind explaining what the word “horology” means.
