The Latest News About Watches

Pretty much since the first day of taking up the financially ruinous hobby of watches in early 2022, I’ve had a bit of a thing for tool and sports watches. Granted, I haven’t been scuba diving and I’ll certainly not be scaling Mount Everest any time soon, but there is – to me at least […] The post Owner’s Review: the Tudor Black Bay GMT appeared first on Worn & Wound.

Mastering the Art of Precision: A Journey Into Hand Engraving Techniques Artur Akmaev, Founder of Artur Akmaev Watches (Santa Monica, CA) January 8, 2024 Embarking on the journey of mastering the art of hand engraving is a rewarding and intricate process that requires dedication, patience, and a keen eye for detail. But how can one start practicing hand engraving and what is the process? At the January lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Artur Akmaev, founder of his eponymous watch brand, will share his experience working with different hand-engraving styles and techniques that he has learned and applied to his watches, culminating in his recent collection complete with fully engraved dials showcasing craftsmanship at its finest. Doors open at 6PM ET, lecture to begin at 7PM 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: The Value of Time: Branding and Effective Storytelling in Watchmaking Fernanda Zapata, Founder of Gigantem (New York, NY) December 4, 2023 VIEW THE LECTURE Video recordings of lectures are available immediately to HSNY members, and the general public with a two-month delay. Introducing 1866: A Fine Fragrance by the Horological Society of New York A composition inspired by the rich history of horology, 1866 is crafted to be experienced slowly and opens with the invigorating sensation of crisp alpine air. As the fragrance develops, one finds themselves transported to the eclectic bustle of Midtown Manhattan’s Club Row. The scent of the roasted nut cart on the corner evokes a symphony with cedarwood and tobacco, bringing forth a welcoming warmth reminiscent of days spent in the Society’s library. Distinctly temporal in nature, 1866 finally transforms into an invisible timepiece, enveloping the wrist in supple leather and amber that wears evenly well past a New York minute.

The show, set in late 19th-century New York City, depicts the rise of the American aristocracy during the Gilded Age, a period of immense economic growth and social upheaval. At the time, New York became a horological hotspot when German emigres specializing in watchmaking flocked to the city. A group of men found comradeship around their mutual interest and formed HSNY in 1866. In the second season, HSNY is featured as the Uhrmacher Verein der Stadt New York (Watchmakers Association of the City of New York), the German name for the Society used during that time. The show also introduces a new fictional character, Mr. Schubert, Secretary of the Uhrmacher Verein der Stadt New York. To prepare for his character Jack Trotter’s horological storyline, actor Ben Ahlers took a watchmaking class at HSNY along with series Co-Producer Luke Harlan.

If you’ve been paying attention to my articles, you’ll know they often note the ways that women show up peripherally in our library collection at HSNY: as loving inscribers and anonymous students; underage or endangered workers in watch factories; and horological tourists marveling at public clocks. The women I’m writing about today, however, are not on the margins. They’re main characters of horology, people with enduring influence as authors, collectors, and makers. Many had an impact beyond their lifetimes, and all overcame gendered barriers to their participation in horology. THE EARLY WRITERS: MARY BOOTH, MARY HOWITT From the 19th century comes the tale of two Marys, both female pioneers in horological writing. Mary Booth, a polymathic American author, was the first editor-in-chief of “Harper’s Bazaar,”one of the first fashion magazines in the country. She wrote or translated at least 47 books in seven languages, including several that were influential in gathering support for anti-slavery causes during the Civil War. She published “The Clock and Watchmakers’ Manual” in 1860, a selection of technical and historical writings by different authors originally written in French. We have a copy in our library at HSNY. She’s listed as the author, but the use of the initials “M. L. Booth” on the title page suggests the publisher was aware that a woman’s name on a horological textbook might not be a selling point. (The publisher, John Wiley, still exists, and focuses on technical and scientific publications.) Though she calls herself a “compiler” in the preface, Booth has done much more. Her preface relates a succinct history of timekeeping from the first water clocks to the most precise marine chronometers, demonstrating her own knowledge of the topic.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
