Resembling the tiny parts of an impossibly intricate and eye-catching timepiece, strewn from a watchmakers toolkit, these are in fact fossil Crinoids, Corals, Bryozoans and Brachiopods.

After the two parted ways, the company was named Patek Philippe & Co. What luck for Switzerland! Patek Philippe today is known as one of the best luxury watchmakers in the world (they are also my favorite brand). This was possible because Switzerland took in two Polish immigrants.

Love this! I was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Swiss capital of watchmaking. I come from a family of watchmakers. Two of my great grandfathers were Italian and German engineers, with each several Swiss patents on watch parts. There are literally thousands of cases like this.

Not just the highly educated. Welsh miners formed study groups to read Austen and Dickens. Scottish shepherds built lending libraries. Watchmakers & cabinetmakers taught themselves Greek and Latin. The loss of working-class autodidact culture is one of history's great tragedies.

Same with timepieces. The 3 largest American manufacturers turned over all production to war efforts. Thousands of young men trained to become watchmakers to service and repair the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of timepieces, because timing is often crucial in war.

Was chatting to one of my most brilliant Physics students yesterday and he had no idea how mechanical watches work and was fascinated by the fact that they make use of such basic Physics principles and the history of how watchmakers have overcome various limitations on accuracy.
