Web: https://generalsociety.org/?page_id=103A watch was one of the most expensive consumer goods that one could buy in early America. They were a technical mystery that embodied the very height of craftsmanship, fashion, and artistry in the world, and conveyed one’s stature in society.
At the January 2025 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Antiquarian Horologist Richard Newman will introduce “Early American Pocket Watches,” HSNY’s latest exhibit that spans 125 years of American watchmaking. From the earliest known American-signed watch, made in about 1715, to watches made during the early Federal period after the War of Independence, Newman will take us on a journey through the beginnings of an era that laid the foundations for the American watch industry.
The lecture video will be available to members immediately, and to the general public following a two-month delay.
Time: 6:00-8:00 pm EST
