De Midi à Minuit - Les Maîtres Horlogers
Description
Were some watchmakers themselves Freemasons and took part in the realization of these exceptional timepieces ? Did major brands participate directly or indirectly in providing this watch niche? Is it because Freemasonry evolves within a specific temporality that Freemasons maintain a particular relationship with time? In this reference you will discover the answers to all these questions. More than 200 secret timepieces of the Freemasons will be revealed to you through detailed clichés of watches, clocks and clocks most common, but also pieces that have never been revealed to the general public. To create this book, Didier Gottardini worked closely with specialists and had the honor of benefiting from the insights of an undisputed expert in antique and collectible watches: Jean-Claude Sabrier. This title is enriched by unpublished reflections on the time of a historian (Roger Dachez), an author (Pascal Fournier) and a sociologist (Michel Maffesoli), and prefaced by Alain Bauer (former Grand Master of the GODF and collector of Masonic watches) and Jean-Pierre Servel (Grand Master of the GLNF). You will travel from noon to midnight in the arcana of a world of symbols that will be discovered as and when time passes: Tempus Fugit!
