Introducing: The Oris Big Crown Waldenburgerbahn Limited Edition — My Kind Of Suave
Oris has a distinct lineup of contemporary sports cool with the Aquis and Pro Pilot lines, but my heart lies with the vintage-inspired divers and OG Big Crown range. The latter is pitch-perfect vintage at heart, yet is versatile enough to take on a more modern look in its more minimal Calibre 400 and 403 […]

Learn about French watchmaking on Dec. 5! 📍
La France: Another Land of Watchmaking
Colin de Tonnac, Watchmaker, CEO and Founder at Semper & Adhuc (Labouheyre, France)
December 5, 2022
HSNY's December 2022 lecture will take place in person at the General Society Library. Doors open at 6PM ET, lecture to begin at 7PM ET. RSVP is required.
Since the 1980s and in the general subconscious, watchmaking has been above all a Swiss affair. When we think of watches or of a watch-producing country, typical images of Lake Geneva, the Swiss flag or the snowy mountains of the Vallée de Joux immediately come to mind.
However, there is another neighboring country that produces fine timepieces as well: France.
For the final lecture of 2022, Colin de Tonnac, Watchmaker, CEO and Founder at Semper & Adhuc, will discuss the evolution of French watchmaking, focusing on events, anecdotes, innovations and flagship models that put France on the map as a serious watchmaking nation, including the revival it has experienced in recent years.
The lecture video will be available to members immediately, and to the general public following a two-month delay.

The Horological Society of New York Library Undergoes Major Expansion
The Jost Bürgi Research Library Contains Over 25,000 Items Relating To Horology
The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) was founded in 1866 as a guild by watchmakers for watchmakers. One of the first initiatives agreed on was to start a library, which would include reference texts of the times. Although modest in size, the HSNY library has always been an important resource.
HSNY announces a major expansion and naming of its library with the establishment of the Jost Bürgi Research Library, now one of the world’s largest horological libraries, containing over 25,000 items on all aspects of the study of time and timekeepers.
The first library of its kind in New York City, the HSNY collection still contains original texts donated by its founding members but grows exponentially with the donation of a private collection once belonging to Fortunat Mueller-Maerki (b. 1946).
A longtime bibliophile, Mueller-Maerki owned one of the largest horological libraries in private hands. He spent 30 years traveling the world and purchasing horological material including books, periodicals, audiovisual materials, rare ephemera and more.

New Series: Reading Time at HSNY
Welcome to our new monthly column: Reading Time at HSNY!
In this new series celebrating the launch of the Jost Bürgi Research Library, HSNY's librarian Dr. Miranda Marraccini brings us behind the scenes of one of the world's largest horological libraries. Follow along as she explores the bookshelves and brings new light to our marvelous items dating as far back as the 1600s!
# # #
Inside the Jost Bürgi Research Library
When you visit the Horological Society of New York’s (HSNY) library in person, almost everything that you see on the shelves – books, periodicals, boxes of papers, auction catalogs – is the lifelong work of one person, Fortunat Mueller-Maerki.
Born in Switzerland in 1946, Mueller-Maerki developed a love for clocks and watches at a young age. He was living with his grandfather while he attended the University of Zurich. During this time, his grandfather inherited a 300-year-old table clock and had it restored, after which Mueller-Maerki kept it on his nightstand. It was this clock that first sparked Mueller-Maerki’s interest in horology.
He didn’t make a conscious decision to collect clocks. “I don’t know how I got to [clock] number two,” Mueller-Maerki says. “We had a few nice antique clocks in the house.” Instead, his passion developed slowly while he pursued a full life outside of horology: an exchange student program in Pennsylvania that was his first experience in the U.S., college in Switzerland, then married life in an apartment in the schoolhouse where his wife Ruth worked as a teacher.
After a three-month tour across the U.S. in a Volkswagen camper, Mueller-Maerki enrolled in the MBA program at Harvard University. He completed the degree in 1975 and began a 25-year career at a groundbreaking executive search firm, Egon Zehnder, “the only employer I ever had,” as he says. He and Ruth had three children.
After settling into his life in the U.S., Mueller-Maerki became a member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC), and started taking technical classes in clock repair. “I wasn’t good enough to do watches,” he claims. He says he doesn’t have the coordination required for their tiny parts.

There are not many movement manufacturers nor watch brands that can lay claim to a staggering 9 GPHG awards, though Agenhor is one of them.
