Time for everyone

In 1993, one of the most important horological gatherings of the 20th century took place at Harvard University. The Longitude Symposium brought together more than 500 collectors, restorers, dealers, academics, and curators from seventeen nations, and the proceedings led to the publication of Dava Sobel’s widely read book, Longitude, about John Harrison’s 18th-century quest to develop a timepiece accurate enough to determine a ship’s east-west position beyond sight of land.

Twenty years later, another epic conference will take place at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. “Time for Everyone: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Public Time” will present twenty-three major thinkers with ideas on space time and brain time, ancient clocks and modern wristwatches and sliced nanoseconds. Sponsored

in conjunction with the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors as this year’s Ward Francillon Time Symposium, the conference will host as many as 600 international attendees interested in time and its measurement.

William J. H. Andrewes, the creator and driving force behind the Longitude Symposium and now one of the principal organizers of this event, opens the Caltech program with “The Time of Our Lives.” The weekend culminates in Saturday evening’s banquet keynote address by Bill Phillips (right), 1997 Nobel Laureate, on “Time, Einstein, and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe.”

Please examine the full roster of eminent speakers, visit the website for all the details about the symposium, request an attractive printed poster/brochure to share, and register early for the premier time and timekeeping event of this century.
