The NAWCC National Watch and Clock Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia, will host Lunch Time Talk on Wednesday, April 17, in the basement classroom. "Complicated Pocket Watches: Five Masterpieces From the Museum's Collection" will be presented from noon to 1 p.m. by master watchmaker Bernhard Stoeber. The program will be of interest to watch aficionados, historians, and those with an appreciation for exquisite timepieces.
On display, and to be discussed, will be five exceptional, complicated pocket watches made by A.L. Breguet, Lange and Sohne, Patek Philippe, Henry Capt, and S. Auer, ranging in age from 1814 to 1947. Four of these pocket watches were made or assembled in the famous Swiss Valle de Joux. The history of this birthplace of complicated watch movements will be covered.
The Lunch Time Talk is free to the public. Attendees are welcome to visit the museum to see the more than 12,000 other items on display. There is an admission fee to visit the museum. Admission is free for children under age 5.
