Parts grio 13raton in his book "Clocks and Watches" devotes a chapter to the story Ogle watch. "The firat watches were made in Europe, perhaps Burgundy or Flanders not long before 1500.,1" It was fashionable at the time to wear so-called `musk hells' on. chains. or ribbons around the neck. They were decorated and perforated hollow metal spheres containing musk, used much the same as perfume today, Several of these survive with a watch in the bottom. The movement was of iron, The dial had one hand and no glass Covering. A deep rim edge protected it when set on the table. They were. sometimes erroneously celled Nuremberg eggs because a translator -mistook •urenrlein clpeks) for *dein (little eggs), These first watches were also made Eke flat drums and when not worn were parried a purse, Peter Herilein,Nurerehurg, a locksmith is known to have been one of the first successful makers of watches priced at fifteen florins each. Blois in France was also known for its watches at a very early date, Julien Coudray of that place made two watches in the hilts of daggers far the King of France in 1581. Small canister table clocks were reduced in size in the sixteenth century to become clock-watches which struck the time. The decorative cases were pierced to allow the striking to be heard also the tip of this hand and raised numerals I-XII could be seen through it. An early painting by an Italian master 1560 shows a gentleman holding a typical German mid-16th century watch. On the table is a detachable alarm system and the carrying case. A. night clock had 13-24 in Arabic numbers underneath the twelve Roman numerals. To tell the time by touch in the dark a small knob was positioned at each number. The trade spread quickly in France from Blois to Paris, Lyon, Dijon and other towns. They took over the lead from Germany during the 30 years war. France introduced an oval watch. Geneva in Switzerland became a watch making centre sometime after 1550 and London followed by 1600. They were forced to go out and sell their wares in other towns at fairs, etc. A small complicated oval watch of 1600 made by J. Burgis, England, has hours at the bottom, The top dial shows date, month, signs of the Zodiac and at the left, phases of the moon. In 1685 when the Edict of Nantes protecting Protestants was revoked by Louis XIV, hundreds of thousands of French Huguenots, including many watchmakers fled to England and Switzerland. There was complete interactionalism in the watch trades. A watch was made by several craftsmen. A maker might produce some parts, buy others, assemble them to his own design and perhaps label it `London' whereas parts may have been made in France. Before 1650 a watchmaker was supported by a jeweller, a goldsmith, an engraver, an enameller, a lapidary case maker and perhaps others. Glass was not yet used over the dial, but the lapidarist would be employed to cut and polish transparent antural quartz known as 'rock crystal'. That is probably why today we refer to the glass covering of a dial as the watch crystal. Enamelling is the art of melting coloured glasses onto metal. When the surface of the metal case is cut into hollows to hold the different colours it is known as "champleve" and "cloisonne" when little strips of metal form compartments, The French had been masters of this art long before the watch was introduced. Blois enamels on watch cases frequently pictured flowers and less often scenes and portraits. Enamelling spread to London and Geneva. In 17th century the most famous enamellers were a family by name of Huaud, Geneva, whose work often depicted buxom and partly dressed young women with old adoring men. • Most early watches were highly regarded as jewels, perhaps .130,„cayse,their tinm„lie,eping,might oikt„,as much as half an hoer. There was a reaction against decoration in. England in Puritan times' and a small watch in the shape of a flattened egg was introduced before 1650 known as the Puritan watch. Calvinistic Geneva continued to make watches in all shapes and sizes imitating birds, flowers, animals, books, skulls and other objects which became known as "form" watches. Geneva became well-known for its Abbess watches cut in the form of a cross from rock crystal. The biggest technical change in watches came soon after 1675 when the, balance spring or hair spring was introduced. Robert Hooke in England and Christiaan Huygens in Holland both claimed the invention but the latter is now given the credit. The minute hand was now added to watches and the pendant watch disapperaed into the waist coat pocket. The author points out that every novelty watch dial which appears today had an ancestor in some clock or watch of the past. Reading the time indicated by two moving hands was novel in the 17th century. It was not taught in school. There were many experiments until the round dial with two or three hands evolved. "Some magnificent engraved cases in gold were produced during the 18th century and also cases set with ornamental stones and gems. Because enamelled cases in particular were works of art and could be damaged, and also because they were made by a separate craftsman, the watch was not fitted into the enamelled case. Instead it was in a plain case of gold which fitted into the enamelled one. A third protective case enclosed the enamelled one." In the 18th century the English became the most dominant watch making nation, leading the French and Swiss. Thomas Thompion (1639-1713) the most famous of all English clock and watch makers organized his shop on present day assembly line methods, which was a forerunner of the Industrial Revolution by two centuries. In 1770, Thomas. Mudge, Exeter, who always refused to charge high prices made a beautiful watch for Queen Charlotte in which he used the lever escapement and it had a centre minute hand.
