During his studies, he quickly distinguished himself for his mastery of classical subjects, and he regularly took first place in academic competitions.

He was also privately tutored in drawing by an Italian painter.

  • Bref Portrait Du Pays De Neuchâtel
    BREF PORTRAIT DU PAYS DE NEUCHÂTEL Un concentré d’avantages ! Un paradis naturel Au cœur de l’arc jurassien, au bord du plus vaste plan d’eau entièrement suisse, face à la chaîne des Alpes, le Pays de Neu- châtel jouit d’une situation géographique privilégiée à tous égards. Sur une superficie restreinte, il offre une étonnante diversité de paysages au charme prenant et à l’authenticité préservée, les deux-tiers du territoire étant zones protégées. Littoral neuchâtelois Un centre urbain à la campagne, ouvert sur le monde Ce pays de forte nature est pourtant urbain par sa dimension et sa culture. Sa population n’est que de 170’000 habitants, dont 70% vivent dans le Réseau urbain neuchâtelois (RUN), que forment les agglomérations de Neuchâtel (Littoral) et de La Chaux-de-Fonds/Le Locle (Haut). Son niveau d’équipement et de services est élevé, avec notamment des structures de formation de premier ordre (Université, écoles techniques supérieures, professionnelles, etc.), sa vie culturelle et asso- ciative intense et riche. Et le Pays de Neuchâtel, largement ouvert sur le monde par son histoire et sa trajectoire économique, est près de tout: frontalier de la France, il est à une demi-heure de la capitale fédérale Berne, à un peu plus d’une heure de la métropole économique Zurich et de la cité internationale Genève. Un savoir-faire à la mesure de notre temps Le plus horloger des cantons suisses est aussi le pôle national des micro- et nanotechnologies, rassemblant, autour du Centre suisse d’électronique et de microtechnique (CSEM), de l’Institut de mi- crotechnique de l’Université, de l'Ecole d'ingénieurs de l'Arc juras- sien (EIAJ) et de Neode, parc scientifique et technologique, une remarquable densité de centres de recherche et de développe- ment et d’entreprises innovantes dans lesquelles s’invente une partie de notre futur.

  • The Impact of the Quartz Crisis in Switzerland Tate Twinam Department of Economics College of William
    Trade Shocks and Growth: The Impact of the Quartz Crisis in Switzerland Tate Twinam Department of Economics College of William & Mary Abstract. Agglomeration economies and clustering effects are a key driver of urban growth. They can also be a source of vulnerability when cities and regions specialize in export- intensive industries. Foreign competition and technological change can threaten the survival of exporters, and shocks to these industries can have long-run effects on the communities which rely on them. In this paper, I study the impact of a rapid and large-scale trade shock: The quartz crisis, which devastated the globally dominant Swiss watch industry in the 1970s. I document the geographic agglomeration pattern of the industry and the impact of the crisis on exports, employment, and wages. Using a differences-in-differences strategy, I show that this trade shock led to a large and rapid loss of population in affected areas, and a long-run change in growth patterns. I explore the mechanisms behind this population change, including the role of manufacturing employment and immigration. I discuss the implications of these results for theories of urban growth, and contrast them with recent work on the China shock in Europe and the United States. 1. Introduction Agglomeration economies are widely recognized as a key driver of urban and regional growth. They can also be a source of resilience. Path dependence in the location of eco- nomic activity has allowed many regions to survive and grow despite the irrelevance of their initial natural advantages or immense physical devastation stemming from wars or natural disasters.

COMPLETE DIRECTIONS FOR USING ALL THE LATEST TOOLS, ATTACHMENTS AND DEVICES FOR WATCHMAKERS AND JEWELERS BY HENRY G. ABBOTT ILLUSTRATED WITH 288 ENGRAVINGS C HidAGO: Ge&. K. Hazlitt & Co., PUPUSHBIIS, Copyrighted 1898, by Geo. K. Hazlitt & Co. PREFACE. THE first edition of this work was published in 1893 and met with an unexpected and unprecedented sale, and a second edition was placed upon the market in less than ten months. So much new matter was added that it was found necessary to reset the entire work in smaller type in order to keep the volume within the price at which it was originally placed on the market. It is the first and only book, of which the author has any knowledge, which illustrates and describes modern American tools for the watchmaker and jeweler. The ambitious workman is always in search of knowl- edge, in search of new ideas, new tools and new methods. Patient study, constant practice and ambition are requisite to become pro- ficient in any art. The demand for skilled workmen is constantly increasing, and a person wishing to thoroughly master any art, must be to a certain extent capable of self instruction. To be proficient in any art a man must not be deft of touch alone, but the head must also play its part.
