CHAPUIS Alfred

9734 Histoire de la Pendulerie Neuchâteloise (Horlogerie de gros et moyen volume)

EDITION ET RELIURE D'ORIGINE 1917 - PREMIER LIVRE D'ALFRED CHAPUIS - 489 pages

C’est lors de sa visite au dernier pendulier du Val-de-Travers que Alfred Chapuis a eu l’idée de reconstituer l’histoire des pendules et des penduliers neuchâtelois. Il s’est alors aperçu combien pauvre étaient les données rassemblées sur ce sujet. 

Grâce à ce premier livre, Alfred Chapuis devient, en 1917, une autorité dans l’histoire de l’horlogerie. On y reconnait sa démarche de poser les bases qui traversent le temps sans vieillir, de les approfondir et de les étayer.
