Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historiography of timekeeping is traditionally characterized by a dichotomy between research that investigates the evolution of technical devices on the one hand, and research that is concerned with the examination of the cultures and uses of time on the other hand. Material Histories of Time opens a dialogue between these two approaches by taking monumental clocks, table clocks, portable watches, carriage clocks, and other forms of timekeeping as the starting point of a joint reflection of specialists of the history of horology together with scholars studying the social and cultural history of time. The contributions range from the apparition of the first timekeeping mechanical systems in the Middle Ages to the first evidence of industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Book excerpt: The history of precision technology may seem a small, specialised subject, concerned with the development of such mundane, even banal objects as sun-dials, sand-glasses, clocks or rulers and other measuring instruments. Yet their development, as the author holds, has helped condition how we relate to the natural world and is therefore a key aspect of cultural history. For many classes of instruments there are still no basic narrative accounts of their internal evolution, and a number of these studies represent an effort towards fulfilling that need. In others, starting with an object or an object and its maker, the author asks what did it do, and then who wanted it to do it and why, penetrating into the more general social context. In time the studies range from Antiquity to the 19th century, but the emphasis is on the period from the 16th century onwards.L'histoire de la technologie de précision peut paraître comme étant un sujet spécialisé de moindre importance, se rapportant au développment d'objets quelconque, voire banals, tels les cadrans solaires, les sabliers, les horloges, les règles et autres instruments de mesure. D'après l'auteur, leur développement a cependant contribué à déterminer la façon dont nous nous rapportons au monde naturel et fait de ceux-ci l'un des aspects à la clef de notre histoire culturelle. Pour un bon nombre de catégories d'instruments, il n'existe toujours pas de relation de base concernant leur évolution interne; un effort a été accompli au travers de certaines des études contenues dans ce recueil, afin de combler cette lacune. Dans d'autres, l'auteur, débutant par un objet seul, ou bien encore un objet et son créateur, pose la question de savoir ce à quoi celui-ci servait, à qui il était destiné à servir et pourquoi, pénétrant ainsi dans un contexte social plus généralisé. Du point de vue de la chronologie, les études partent de l'Antiquité et vont jusqu'au 19e siècle, l'accent étant surtout mis à partir du 16e siècle.

Book excerpt: L'heure est partout présente dans l'espace public. Il existe tout un patrimoine lié à l'heure, encore présent dans nos villes et villages : cadrans solaires sur les façades, horloges astronomiques dans de nombreuses villes de Suisse et d'Europe, construites à une époque où l'astrologie primait encore sur l'horlogerie. À la fin du Moyen-Âge, en passant progressivement de l'heure ecclésiale à l'heure civile, la société change et fait un pas. L'heure se fait plus utilitaire. Elle s'affiche aux portes de la ville, sur les tours des remparts, sur les clochers d'église ou les beffrois. On voit fleurir de grands cadrans coloriés avec une ou deux aiguilles, elles-mêmes richement décorées. L'évolution suit son cours. L'uniformisation de l'heure devient de plus en plus nécessaire au fur et à mesure que l'activité économique basée sur l'échange se développe. L'heure locale ne répond plus à ces besoins. Ce qui nous fait quitter progressivement le soleil, la lune et la rotation terrestre comme références absolues pour l'écoulement du temps. Nos très prosaïques horloges de gare sont un bon exemple de la nationalisation puis de la mondialisation de l'heure. Ainsi, du cadran solaire à l'horloge de gare, ce livre nous fait découvrir le riche patrimoine de l'heure qui nous entoure. Il nous réapprend à le lire comme le lisaient nos ancêtres qui réglaient leurs montres aux méridiennes des cadrans solaires jusqu'au milieu du XIXe siècle.
