IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE HOROLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK

HOROLOGY'S GREAT COLLECTORS

national association of watch and clock collectors

OCTOBER 21-22, NEW YORK CITY

Since the invention of mechanical timekeeping, passionate collectors have recognized the enduring historical, technological, cultural, and aesthetic values of horology. To awe and inspire themselves and others, they built fine collections that are in museums around the world or have been dispersed but are well-documented. These collectors deserve our attention, study, and everlasting gratitude. This symposium will feature the lives and collections of some of those men who no longer are with us. They enriched our appreciation and understanding of horology and had significant collections known to the public. They wrote seriously about their collections or other people have done so in detailed books, in museum and auction catalogues, in scholarly and collector journals, and in the popular press. No previous conference has focused on these stars of horology. Eminent international speakers have been recruited to lecture about them. The programs will take place in the historic library of the General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of The City Of New York, 20 W. 44th Street. The closing banquet will be directly across the street at the elegant Harvard Club of New York City. Please join us for this historic event.
