Rossella Baldi, “Forger la légitimité de l’artisan neuchâtelois”, Unil, 24 octobre 2017

Rossella Baldi was invited to speak at the MA research seminar about the cottage industry and watch-making industry in Neuchatel in the eyes of the eighteenth-century writers. She paid special attention to the text written by the brothers Mniszech which was anonymously published in Journal Hélvetique and which became one of the more well-known early texts on Swiss watch-making.
