Our Predictions In The Men’s Category Of The 2022 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG): Our Panel Is Split In Two

The Men’s is one of the more contentious GPHG categories every year because it is filled with amazing watches that may or may not have much in common but do have distinctive aesthetics. Since that is very subjective, our panel is reminded that the category is essentially asking which watch is the most versatile, wearable, and appeals to the broadest demographic. And, yet, our peanut gallery is divided practically down the middle!

Seating is limited and available via RSVP on a first-come-first-serve basis. The lecture will also be livestreamed. Early modern clock and watch dials mirrored changes in the wider intellectual and cultural context of which they were inextricably a part. At the October 2022 lecture of the Horological Society of New York, Dr. Jane Desborough, Keeper of Science Collections at the Science Museum in London, will chart the significant changes that dials underwent in the period from 1550 to 1770, highlighting the many factors that eventually led to a more-or-less uniform design being adopted by 1770. This 220-year journey of development was a fascinating one in which different attributes of dial design were introduced to meet a particular user demand, such as the touch-pins which were added to help partially-sighted users and which were then discarded once alternative aids became available. It is, therefore, the discarded elements that did not secure a place on the uniform design that are the most interesting. Multiple forms of lunar calendar and astronomical symbols, for example, were highly significant to both makers and users during the late-sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but eventually either disappeared entirely or survived on only rare examples. Comparing dials with contemporary texts and diagrams enables us to identify the influences that led to these changes. Clock and watch makers of the past were after all inextricably part of the wider context of experiment, knowledge formation and exchange which characterised the early modern period. Highly literate, highly skilled and an integral part of wide-ranging & highly-connected networks, early modern clock and watch makers played an active role in disseminating, validating and discrediting ideas and practices. This was evident in their dial designs. Doors open at 6:00pm, lecture begins promptly at 7:00pm. Free tickets are required to attend. RSVP (IN PERSON) RSVP (VIRTUAL) Meeting Recap: The Quartz Crisis: A Tragic Decade for Swiss Watchmaking Hyla Ames Bauer, Watch and Jewelry Writer (New York, New York) September 7, 2022 The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) lecture series returned after summer break with Hyla Ames Bauer, New York-based watch and jewelry writer, lecturing on the quartz crisis that hindered the Swiss watchmaking industry. The “Before” Times – Swiss and European Watchmaking Bauer began the lecture with the passing down of watchmaking skills to the next generation, the unique location of the Jura Mountains that provided natural light watchmakers took advantage of due to no electricity, and the key players in the watch industry that made their unique mark: Abraham-Louis Breguet, world-renowned for inventing the tourbillon and self-winding timepieces; Louis Cartier, designer of the ‘Santos’ for his friend Alberto Santos Dumont, an air pilot who couldn’t see his pocket watch while flying; and Hans Wilsdorf, who contacted Mercedes Glietze (the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel) to back his claim that the Rolex Oyster watch was ‘The World’s First Waterproof Watch Case.’ How does a quartz watch differ from a mechanical one? Bauer went on to explain that mechanical watches depend on outside sources of energy such as manual or automatic winding. The quartz, however, has its energy source within the watch and does not require winding by the watch wearer. Scientists Marie and Pierre Curie found that “…if a quartz crystal was hit, it turns the energy of the impact into electricity. This quality is called piezoelectric. It’s an electric charge that accumulates after some mechanical stress is applied. When a piece of quartz is compressed or bent, it generates an electric charge on its surface. It can also work the other way if a small electric charge gets on to the surface of the quartz, it will vibrate.”   CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL MEETING RECAP ... HSNY Announces the Simon Willard Award for School Watches Awards Up To $10,000 Available The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) announces a new financial aid initiative for watchmaking students in the U.S. — the Simon Willard Award for School Watches.  Watchmaking schools often ask their students to create a school watch before graduation, allowing students to showcase the multitude of skills learned in watchmaking school. The finished product can be the first step towards independent watchmaking — an art that preserves traditional watchmaking techniques. Making school watches is important, and HSNY wants to help motivate watchmaking students to go the extra mile in their last school project. This award is named for Simon Willard, a pioneer in establishing the American horological industry. Willard (1753 - 1848) was an important American horologist and trailblazer in the American horological industry. The Willard family clockmaking business was among the first in the U.S., setting up shop around 1780 on Roxbury Street in Boston (later known as Washington Street). Willard’s brother Aaron settled a quarter mile away, and from the 1790s onward, the Willard family workshop built tall clocks in great numbers and performed general clock repair. In 1802, Simon Willard obtained a patent for his famous eight-day "banjo" clock, which is widely considered to be one of the most significant styles of early 19th-century American timepieces. Willard's clocks required skilled hand-craftsmanship, and their movements were outstandingly precise. His own skills were exceptional, and he was able to file cogwheels without leaving file-marks, producing mechanisms with a margin of error of just thirty seconds over the course of a month. By about 1810, both Simon and Aaron were producing clocks that were as good as those being produced in Europe. The Simon Willard Award for School Watches is made possible by a generous donation from Samy Al Bahra, a collector of independent timepieces and a proponent of traditional watchmaking education.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ANNOUNCEMENT ...

Gow Memorial Scholarship For Horology — An annual scholarship program dedicated to professional careers in clockmaking As part of a long-term plan to support the study of horology (the study of time and timekeepers) and aid those working toward a professional career in clockmaking, the family of former Willard House & Clock Museum conservator, David G. Gow has launched an annual scholarship.  “The professional career path of conservator-level clockmaking is not well defined”, says  Robert C. Cheney, Willard’s Executive Director, “Unlike a century ago, formal  apprenticeship programs are scarce and any funding difficult to obtain.”  The Gow family, following David’s strong wishes, along with the collaboration of the museum trustees and staff, established the memorial scholarship to help worthy students obtain this specialized training. The details:  • Any US-based student that has begun the journey into the profession of clockmaking qualifies.  • $5,000 will be awarded and the money may be used to attend advanced courses provided by various clock and watch making schools across the country.  Applications are due by November 14. The first scholarship recipient will be announced at the beginning of December 2022.  To learn more about the Memorial Scholarship for Horology, go to: https://willardhouse.org/david-gow-scholarship  GENERAL SOCIETY OF MECHANICS & TRADESMEN OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK Engineering America: The Lift and Times of John A. Roebling — September 29, 2022 In this lecture, Professor Richard Haw, will discuss his book, Engineering America: The Life and Times of John A. Roebling. John Roebling was one of the nineteenth century's most brilliant engineers, ingenious inventors, successful manufacturers, and fascinating personalities. Raised in a German backwater amid the war-torn chaos of the Napoleonic Wars, he immigrated to the US in 1831, where he became wealthy and acclaimed, eventually receiving a carte-blanche contract to build one of the nineteenth century's most stupendous and daring works of engineering: a gigantic suspension bridge to span the East River between New York and Brooklyn. In between, he thought, wrote, and worked tirelessly. He dug canals and surveyed railroads; he planned communities and founded new industries. Like his finest creations, Roebling was held together by the delicate balance of countervailing forces. On the surface, his life was exemplary and his accomplishments legion. As an immigrant and employer, he was respected throughout the world. As an engineer, his works profoundly altered the physical landscape of America. He was a voracious reader, a fervent abolitionist, and an engaged social commentator. His understanding of the natural world, however, bordered on the occult and his opinions about medicine are best described as medieval. For a man of science and great self-certainty, he was also remarkably quick to seize on a whole host of fads and foolish trends. Yet Roebling held these strands together.  The lecture will be followed by a book signing. Register in person or online today!

Their collections remain preserved in museums around the world or have been dispersed but are well-documented in books, pamphlets, and auction catalogues dating back to the 18th century. The symposium programs will take place at The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York (where HSNY hosts its lectures). Speakers from America, England, and Germany will present. Bonus sessions and tours include pre-symposium presentations honoring the late horological illustrator and animator John Redfern, a curator-led special tour of the watch collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a post-symposium day-long field trip to the Morris Museum in nearby New Jersey that holds world-class collections of antique automata and mechanical music.
