Clocks at Winterthur The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors Educational Symposium OCTOBER 6–8, 2016 This year’s NAWCC Ward Francillon Time Symposium will be presented at the world-famous Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library in Wilmington, Delaware. The public is invited. Winterthur boasts a premier collection of 90,000 decorative and fine arts objects made or used in America between 1640 and 1860. Its creator, Henry Francis du Pont (1880-1969), had a special interest in clocks, and he acquired many fine examples. Since his passing, more clocks have been added to the collection which now numbers over 100. This conference will be the first at Winterthur to focus exclusively on its horological holdings, many of which may be viewed during guided tours. Other clocks not usually on display will be shown in a special exhibit. The James Arthur Lecture, which opens each of these annual events, will be presented by Professor Thomas Allen, author of the 2008 book, A Republic in Time. The concluding banquet speaker will be Morrison Hecksher, Curator Emeritus of the American Wing, Metropolitan Museum of Art. Several more eminent speakers will describe Winterthur’s important clocks and watches, highlighting their makers, regions, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. These scholars include Robert C. Cheney, Philip Morris, Gary Sullivan, Frank Hohmann, Jonathan Snellenburg, Richard Ketchen, Jeffrey Lock, Ronald Hoppes, Elizabeth Mallin, Richard Newman, Philip Poniz, David Wood, and Philip Zimmerman. Current and emeritus Winterthur Museum curators also will offer presentations. These are Charles Hummel, Donald Fennimore, Ann Wagner, Joshua Lane, and Lisa Minardi. Winterthur conservator Mark Anderson will describe his work on an important 18th century Peter Stretch longcase clock Mahogany Longcase Clock by Peter Stretch, Philadelphia, 1735-1746, Winterthur Museum

acquired by the museum in 2004. Attendees will be welcomed by Winterthur Executive Director David Roselle.

Space is limited in the museum auditorium and at the Saturday-evening dinner hosted by the prestigious Wilmington Country Club, so early signups are recommended.
