  • 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.

  • Resonance Chronometer
    Resonance Chronometer Six unique timepieces featuring: the first wristwatch movement with two independent balances synchronised by resonance for supreme mechanical precision. An exclusive movement: invented and made by master-watchmaker, F. P. Journe. François-Paul Journe has been studying the physical phenomenon of resonance for 20 years. At the start of his career, when he was working at his uncle’s horological workshops, he was entrusted with the restoration of a resonance clock made for the king of France. He was fascinated by the idea that a mechanism could apply such a mysterious phenomenon to achieve precision. The young man’s interest in resonance brought him into long discussions with a friend, a naval engineer who was also faced with the disturbing influences of this phenomenon. After much trial and error, Journe succeeded in building a resonance pocket-watch in 1983, and finally the world’s first wristwatch movement using the principle of resonance. Resonance — the synchronisation of frequencies Every oscillating object sends out vibrations. Nearby bodies absorb the energy and can start vibrating at the same frequency. This phenomenon of resonance is part of our daily lives. In a resonance watch, each balance both sends out vibrations and absorbs those of its pair. When they start oscillating they naturally become synchronised, beating in counter-phase. This only happens when they are around 0.4mm apart and the difference in their rate is less than 10 seconds a day. A rack-and-pinion moves one balance closer to its twin until resonance sets in. Both then beat together as twin hearts, keeping the time with a precision that no other mechanical watch can equal.

  • How to Buy a Vintage Timepiece
    How to Buy a Vintage Timepiece Like other luxury collectibles, the market for vintage watch collecting is burgeoning, thanks to a longing for superior craftsmanship and a nostalgia for all things vintage. And as with other asset classes, such as vintage cars or fine jewelry, a luxury pre-owned watch carries with it a certain prestige and glamour, as well as its own unique provenance. Here, Christie’s International Head of Watches, John Reardon, expands on the five rules to heed when buying a vintage watch. 1. DEFINE WHAT YOU ARE COLLECTING AND WHY Know your own mind. Are you interested in passing something special on to the next generation, or a black and white investment, or simply to buy a watch you can wear? What is your interest in a particular watch? Is it the workmanship and “complications” — from day/date indicators to chronographs to phases of the moon and perpetual calendars — or its provenance, such as a watch belonging to an important aviation pioneer, sports or historical figure? 2) DEFINE HOW YOU WANT TO BUY Many fine collections have begun in conversations with reputable jewelers and watch specialists at traditional auction houses. However, when it comes to buying outside these established channels, the luxury vintage watch marketplace can be a minefield for the novice collector when it comes to authenticating a watch’s condition and provenance. Related: Find Accessories for Your Next Adventure At Christie’s, collectors can access the world’s finest vintage and modern timepieces through its eight live auctions a year in Geneva, Hong Kong, New York, and Dubai.
