The world of escapements is captivating, as each tick and tock reveals the precision of a timepiece and the artistry of its maker. At the December 2024 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Bernhard Lederer, Master Watchmaker and Founder of Lederer Timepieces, will take the audience on a journey through the evolution of these mechanisms, from the origins of resting escapements to the revolutionary innovations of horological legends like Abraham-Louis Breguet and George Daniels.

This lecture isn’t just for those with technical knowledge — it’s for anyone with a passion for horology eager to uncover the secrets behind the pulse of every mechanical watch. With modern advancements woven into centuries-old craftsmanship, you’ll gain a unique perspective on how these intricate systems transform watches into living legacies.

RSVP is required.

The lecture video will be available to members immediately, and to the general public following a two-month delay.

Time: Doors open at 5:30 PM ET, lecture begins at 6 PM ET.
