The gambling of industry, 1750-1920
En amont de l’exposition sur l’industrie à Paris, 1750-1920 qui sera présentée à partir de début décembre au Réfectoire des Cordeliers, ce cycle de conférences se propose de mieux faire connaître les lieux, les acteurs et les grands enjeux de l’industrie à Paris depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Signe de l’entrée dans la modernité pour les uns, porteur de régression sociale pour les autres, l’ère industrielle est assurément une période de profondes transformations du tissu urbain et d’importants bouleversements du champ économique et social pour les Parisiens. La dimension problématique de cette activité doit aujourd’hui être redécouverte.

Manufacturers and merchants : making and exporting clocks and other luxury goods in the 18th century
Roger Smith is an independent historian who was educated at the University of London. He was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2006. He is chiefly interested in the organisation of the manufacture and sale of clocks, watches and related luxury articles in the eighteenth century, including international aspects like the migration of craftsmen. He has done much research into the Anglo-Swiss watchmaking firm of Vulliamy of London, and is currently working on a major study of James Cox and his competitors in the trade in clocks and watches from Western Europe to Asia. As well as publishing extensively on such topics, he has acted as historical adviser to museums and auction houses, including the loan exhibition SingSong, Treasures from the Forbidden City at the Museum Speelklok, Utrecht in 2010-11.
