I've been playing around with some Grail Watch posters inspired by classic advertising for #watches - I just love this one, which was inspired by the classic Ed. Kummer Inventic poster which I believe was created by Fiedler in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Occasionally in my research I come across a really eye-popping primary source document like this one, and I thought I would share it with you all!
DuBois et fils was one of the most important and respected watchmaking firms in the world for two centuries!
#introduction I am known in #horology circles as “the one who knows all about obscure historic #watchmakers” and this is indeed my focus. I write my own site, https://Grail-Watch.com, as well as https://Watch-Wiki.net, and for Europa Star. I am also the host of The #Watch Files podcast and am hard at work on a new season.
I majored in Society and Technology Studies with a focus on urban planning and also run a tech media company. Find me at @sfoskett for aspects of my life unrelated to #watches

A belated #introduction post.
I'm a #librarian in London, #Ontario, specializing in web policy and #UX.
I used to be a computer programmer, and I use #FreeBSD on my computers at home.
I collect #watches and #fountainPens, and spend far too much time (or not enough time, depending on reasons) #reading, mostly #sff.
