Antiquarian Horology

[sstakoff]

This past Tuesday I attended a lecture at the Horological Society of New York, where I am a [recent] member. http://www.hs-ny.org

The lecture was given by Seth Kennedy who was visiting from England. Seth is an Antiquarian Horologist and his lecture was really very interesting. He spoke about the history of watchmaking in London - and he incorporated quite a bit of the history of London itself and how watchmaking evolved along with the city from the 1600s through 1900s. He featured some photos and stories of work he has done - including some fantastic custom case making.

You can read more about Seth and the lecture here: http://www.hs-ny.org/meetings/

If you are based near New York or you are visiting - I would really encourage you to try and attend one of the HSNY meetings - typically the first Monday of each month.

I read about the event on Hodinkee and then read some other stuff online about him. Must have been a fascinating talk.
