At the December 2024 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Bernhard Lederer, Master Watchmaker and Founder of Lederer Timepieces, will take the audience on a journey through the evolution of these mechanisms, from the origins of resting escapements to the revolutionary innovations of horological legends like Abraham-Louis Breguet and George Daniels.  This lecture isn’t just for those with technical knowledge — it’s for anyone with a passion for horology eager to uncover the secrets behind the pulse of every mechanical watch. With modern advancements woven into centuries-old craftsmanship, you’ll gain a unique perspective on how these intricate systems transform watches into living legacies.

Hickory, dickory, dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, And down he run. Hickory, dickory, dock. For many readers, these singsong lines will trigger some deep fragment of memory, maybe a cloudy scene at a preschool or the embrace of a grandparent’s warm lap. There are many versions of the rhyme; this one is from “The Completed Hickory Dickory Dock” (image 1). Nursery rhymes, songs, and poems often have a resonance beyond their literal meaning. Here in our library at the Horological Society of New York, we have a number of books of poetry about time and timekeepers. Some of it is funny or satirical, some thoughtful, some melancholy, but all of it tells us something about the ways people reckon with time and its limits. Time, for watchmakers, is a concrete thing, both something to be precisely parceled out, and a livelihood. From its founding in 1866, HSNY members used songs, first in German and later in English, to bond over the difficulties and joys of watchmaking. In one of my previous posts, I quoted from an original song called “Watchmaker’s Smiles” that HSNY members sang together at their gala in 1918. The lyrics covered topics of special interest to watchmakers, like the recent popularity of “bracelet watches” or wristwatches, but also broader current events of the day like prohibition and women’s suffrage. A similar song from a 1916 gala laments the financial position of watchmakers: While the crowd goes chasing madly The mighty dollar bill. Watchmakers often paid but badly, Straining muscle, nerve, and will. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
