Oh, Those French!

 Ran across this ad for French watches in a 1975 issue of Europa Star magazine:





Here's another article on French watches;

We tend to think of Switzerland as the watch capital of the world, but France also held its own in the heyday of watch manufacturing. Some of the players were LIP. Yema, LOV, and others. Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseille, etc. all hosted exhibitions. Here are some examples:

The First Wristwatch

Image
 The first wristwatch goes back a hundred years before many historians argue that wristwatches were a product of the early 20th century, created for soldiers in the Boer War. This article in a 1954 issue of Europa Star magazine postulates that a wristwatch was custom-ordered by Josephine Bonaparte, first wife of Emperor Napoleon I. Have a look  ================= When, in 1906, the first wristwatches were launched on the market, horological experts were quite sincere in believing that these new timepieces -- instead of being carried in the pocket by men or worn as pendants by women -- had to be considered as the original creation of a progress-minded innovator. However, the truth lies elsewhere: wristwatches were invented at the early beginning of the 19th century and were perhaps already known at the end of the 18th century. Josephine Bonaparte Anyhow, a glamorous specimen of wrist watch was executed by Nitot, the Parisian court jeweler of Emperor Napoleon I, in 1806. Empress ...

Timex

 By Bruce Shawkey Some vintage (and not-so vintage) Timex watches over the years. This is from the website https://alanwatch.homestead.com/. Many interesting watches, some expensive, many not so expensive. Shows that collection on a budget is still possible with a little creativity and research. The website and its images are copyright, but I am hereby giving full credit to Alan. Timex Men's Chronograph, 1950s, "Southampton" model. Not really a true chrono, but a nice watch in which the lever at 2 will stop and start the red sweep second hand, and send it flying back. The hands look steel, and have green radium luminous material. Hours on the dial are painted luminous. 1954 Timex with Sea Scouts emblem. Boy Scouts "Marlin," with striking black dial and green luminous material. Appears to be a very rare find, at this point. Timex Electric. Early 1960s. The setting crown is on the back. Mechanical watch, run by battery. Timex Electric. Early 1960s. The setting cro...

ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF EYEGLASSES

In the course of centuries, spectacles have become a fashion accessory, because feminine wearers have been clever enough to transform this utilitarian object into a means of adornment.  Only very few people know that spectacles have been around since the 13th century at a time in which the clergy gave very strong impulses to intellectual and cultural activity as well as to scientific research. As a matter of fact, spectacles were invented by a monk, the Englishman Roger Bacon. In the year 1267 he discovered the so-called "reading glass" which was made from beryl, a light green semi-precious stone which magnified manuscript letters. The first "reading glass" was rarely used by women in those remote days, as only a few of them were able to read. At that time it was the privilege of the wealthy nobility to own a sight-aid. The cost of a reading glass was very high, while its manufacture was a lengthy process.  Later another glass was added to this single reading glass ...
