For who loves horological e historical books on the 26 and 27 of May there will be a very important action. The Parisian auctioneer and horology expert Hervé Chayette will disperse the vast working library of the Milanese horological historian Giuseppe Brusa at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris, proving again that Drouot remains a treasure trove for the most esoteric finds.

The collection, representing 50 years of Mr. Brusa’s relentless search for the rarest and most precious books recording the history of horology and its sister science, astronomy, is offered for sale by his daughter, Elisabetta, a music composer.

More than 500 books and catalogs, including original antique editions dating back to the Renaissance and English translations of ancient Arab texts, will be auctioned.
