Part I O. 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In 1685 when the Edict of Nantes protecting Protestants was
revoked by Louis XIV, hundreds of thousands of French Huguenots,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.
