Happenings Eddie Landzberg To Lecture At The Horological Society of New York

At the May 2025 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Eddie Landzberg will present his undergraduate research on John Harrison's gridiron pendulum. In an independent study at Harvard University, Landzberg examined Harrison's original manuscripts in London and constructed a brass and steel gridiron pendulum. In his lecture, Landzberg will discuss the scientific discoveries, climate conditions, and horological innovations that set the scene for Harrison's work. He will further discuss how the gridiron pendulum functions, reflect on its early reception, and share insights from the reproduction process.

Since a young age, Eddie Landzberg has been fascinated by timekeepers old and new. As a high school student, he interned at the American Clock & Watch Museum in Connecticut, the National Watch and Clock Museum in Pennsylvania, the Museum of Timekeeping in England, and the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Landzberg was inspired by HSNY's introductory watchmaking courses and enjoys amateur watchmaking and repair during off hours from his work in finance. Landzberg was accepted to the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Academy in 2023 and has been featured in The New York Times.

The May 5, 2025, HSNY lecture will take place at the General Society Library in Midtown Manhattan, located at 20 West 44th Street, New York, NY, 10036. Free tickets are required to attend. Doors open at 5:30 PM and the lecture begins at 6 PM. All HSNY lectures are free, open to the public, and video-recorded. Recorded lectures are made available to HSNY members immediately, and to the general public with a two-month delay.
