Antiquarian Horological Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Antiquarian Horological Society, abbreviated to AHS, is the UK-based learned society for scholars and enthusiasts of horology. Its administrative office is at 4 Lovat Lane, a listed building close to the Monument, in the City of London. In early 2016, the Society appointed Dr Patricia Fara of Clare College, Cambridge as its new president, following the untimely death of its previous president Professor Lisa Jardine. The Chairman is Dr James Nye.
The Society was founded in 1953.[1] It unites collectors, scholars and museum professionals interested in the historical aspects of horology ā the study of the art, science, social history and technology of timekeepers, such as clocks and watches.
The society is a registered charity under English law.[2]
