TAKE THE SURVEY The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) has maintained a library collection since its founding in 1866. In this talk, HSNY librarian, Dr. Miranda Marraccini, traces the library’s growth from a compact collection of a few hundred technical books into a full research library with over 25,000 items. She discusses the challenges and triumphs of building the library and explains some of its current initiatives. This recording is from Dr. Marraccini’s lecture at the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) National Convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee in June 2024.

Will you be watching the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games starting in Paris next month? I’ve always been an Olympics superfan, though I’m not sure why. Something about the international display of camaraderie, or perhaps the way the games inspire rabid excitement about sports most people don’t pay any attention to in the intervening two years–curling, trampolining, handball, and more. I’ve often found myself standing up in front of the screen at home, fists clenched, screaming as if my life depended on the outcome of a canoe slalom race. I’m getting to the horology part. The outcome of many sports competitions depends on timing. How do we know who was the fastest, especially in cases where not everyone is competing at the same time, or when the outcome is very, very close? In ancient Greece, where the Olympics originated, timing was imprecise, at best, and relied on sundials and water clocks, as well as the movements of the stars. Thus, most ancient Olympic races, whether in a chariot or on foot, were simply decided by carefully watching the finish line. With the initiation of the modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens, so began the implementation of precise timekeeping at the Olympics. Judges used stopwatches to time events, notably the Heuer Mikrograph, invented in 1916. As this “Europa Star” article reports, watch companies understood early in the 20th century that being associated with the Olympics brought prestige, and a reputation for precision, to the brand. They began to use Olympic sports in their marketing campaigns. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
