Overlooked British History
Got most of it wrong on British watchmaking history. Yes Brits were preeminent from 1650 but still competitive until after World War I.
No ! Harrison did not figure out how to find Longitude, He did figure out how to make a time keeper to make well known methods work.
No !Ford did not teach industry about assembly line and mass production. Ford was a watchmaker himself and learned from US mass producers who became pre eminent and showed technology at US 1876 Centennial. Swiss learned from this; Brits ignored it.
British watchmaking history is very much appreciated by teh Antiquarian Horological Society which published monthly and holds lectures tours and meetings.
