Which watch brand won 2022? Luke picks Omega – here are five reasons why…

When asked to give my thoughts on which watch brand “won” 2022, I feared for a second that it might be a trick question.

Shapiro Watches LLC (Los Angeles, California) January 9, 2023 American watchmaking had a meteoric rise in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The U.S. made millions of highly accurate and beautiful timepieces. The means of producing these timepieces heavily influenced manufacturing techniques within watchmaking and industry at large. However, within a relatively short time period after World War II, mechanical movement watch companies would disappear completely from America. Now the U.S. is experiencing a resurgence of American watchmaking. At the Janaury 2023 lecture of the Horological Society of New York, Joshua Shapiro, CEO of J.N. Shapiro Watches LLC, will explore the rise of American watchmaking, the factors behind its demise, and lastly, share the exciting horology currently happening in the U.S. 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: La France: Another Land of Watchmaking Colin de Tonnac, Watchmaker, CEO and Founder at Semper & Adhuc (Labouheyre, France) December 5, 2022 Video recordings of lectures are available immediately to HSNY members, and the general public with a two-month delay.

Find the first post here. Our current exhibit at HSNY is "Watches from the James Arthur Collection,” which is open to the public by appointment through Winter 2023. The exhibit showcases 14 items from the collection of James Arthur (1842-1930), an immigrant, mechanic, businessman, and inveterate tinkerer who never stopped building watches and clocks. James Arthur also published Time and its Measurement in 1909, a book reprinted from a series of articles he wrote for the magazine Popular Mechanics. The heavily illustrated volume is brief (only 64 pages) but wide-ranging, covering such topics as Chinese and Japanese methods of telling time, how pendulums work, the Zodiac, and Arthur’s modest proposal to “throw local time out totally and establish one, invariable, universal time.” We have the book in our library at HSNY.
