THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 04/14/24

hi everyone.

Just a FYI . this is still a work in progress..... The Things With Springs Clubhouse room is meant for a Live watch forum experience with a small GTG. We are striving for a collector to collector conversations.. having collectors either email me photo of there watch ( or they can join the forum and reply to this thread ) so we can " chat" about in real time... Just to be clear we dont have to talk about a posted watch ... this is a free flowing room on topics on vintage watches and things around watch collecting ... And at the end of the GTG when everyone leaves the CH room... and the room no longer exist ... This thread will remain as a quasi record of the event and we can later go back and refer to.... Hear you at 3:00 pm DST Sunday ....

THINGS WITH SPRINGS CH CHAT 04/14/24

Hi

some cool stuff to talk about.

With the development of the steam engine and associated industrialization, society in the Western world became more urbanized. There was a greater need for the coordination of activities. The development of more accurate timekeepers led to the need for “knowing the correct time”. The Greenwich Observatory was tasked with providing the “correct time” based on astronomical data. The story of how the Observatory responded to this challenge is one of technological invention and human enterprise. The clock employed by the Observatory was in continuous use for 75 years, yet few people have any knowledge of its existence – let alone its inventor or mechanism of operation. Come join Bob as he shares his discovery with you.
Bob Pritzker has been a member of the NAWCC since 1997. He has been President of Chapter 33 (Toronto) and Chapter 159 (British Horology). His horological interests are driven by his fascination with the ingenuity of invention and creativity others have brought to the creation of timepieces. Bob and his wife have enjoyed travelling with others in the NAWCC to various parts of the world to discover all manner of horological objects and experiences. He has spoken to many different groups and written articles about a wide range of horological topics.
