July 1988Versuch über die Geschichte der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft
by Adam Ferguson, Hans Medick, Zwi Batscha, Hans Medick
Diese Edition von Adam Fergusons An Essay on the History of Civil Society (1767) macht eine zentrale Schrift aus der Vor- und Frühgeschichte der Sozialwissenschaften zugänglich. Fergusons Versuch enthält zentrale und originelle »soziologische Leitgedanken«. Das Zusammenleben der Menschen in Gruppen, ihre gesellschaftlichen Verhaltensweisen, die sozialen Normen, Verhältnisse und Prozesse werden als »Grundtatsachen« der menschlichen Geschichte begriffen. Doch die soziologischen Einsichten haben für Ferguson ihren Sinn nicht in sich selbst. Sie sind Vorstufe und Teil einer ebenso umfassenden wie differenzierten Kritik an der »verfeinerten« Kommerzgesellschaft seiner Zeit.

2019The Clock Can Go
The end of the culture of obedience
by Karlheinz A. Geißler
For more than 500 years, the clock has dictated the rhythm of life in the Western World. Clocks were impossible to miss: they were on church towers, at railway stations and factories, they struck the hours and urged people to hurry. But these days, clocks and the punctuality they insisted upon are on the retreat. Nowadays, we are rarely asked “What is the time?” and it is no longer customary to present golden watches or clocks to commemorate important life events. Now we rely on mobile devices and displays to tell us the time, the steady stroke of the rigid clock has been replaced by a more flexible network: we stream TV programmes when we feel like it, we listen to podcasts at any time; chatting, flirting and dating no longer requires prior agreement on time and place. However, what will follow after we have freed ourselves from the chains of the clock god? Emeritus Professor of Economics and time expert Karlheinz A. Geißler shows us that when the influence of the clock disappears, liberating perspectives emerge for experiencing time in social relationships – beyond time pressure and dictates of punctuality.

by Fan Jiaru, Lu Junzhi

A global history of the watch industry
by Pierre-Yves Donzé
The business of time presents a comprehensive history of the global watch industry from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Watch production in the twenty-first century is concentrated in three countries: Switzerland, Japan and China. The industry is dominated by a dozen or so large companies, including the Swatch Group, Richemont, LVMH, Seiko and Fossil. But a hundred years ago the picture was dramatically different. Over the course of a century, Great Britain, France, the United States and Russia saw the manufacture of watches disappear from their territory. At the same time, Hong Kong went from being a subcontractor of watch components to an intermediary between Chinese factories and the world market. Revealing the conditions that drove the spread of watch production around the globe, The business of time explains how multinationals emerged to dominate the industry and highlights how Swiss companies were able to establish themselves as the undisputed leader in luxury watches.
