Description
In the fall of 1876, two Swiss spies came to America and conducted some of the most covert and
consequential industrial espionage in history, changing the course of the global watch industry forever. Had
the events of 1876 never happened, we would likely know little of Swiss watches today.Read by Audie
Award-winning narrator Will Damron, Disrupting Time is a true historical narrative of business strategy,
espionage, and consequences. Set during the Centennial Exhibition in 1876, a great world’s fair in
Philadelphia, it details the story of Jacques David and Theo Gribi. Having attended the Centennial
Exhibition and witnessed the powerful Waltham Watch Company’s frighteningly novel assembly line
exhibit, they knew it spelled the end of their Swiss industry. Rather than be deterred, Gribi and David were
commissioned by the Society of Jura Industries, a Swiss trade association, to acquire the secrets of
America’s technology sector–the American watch industry. They captured their intelligence in a 130-page
report that would remain mostly secret until 1992. Disrupting Time details the never-before-told story of
David and Gribi’s secrets and mission, showing how they used disguises, agent recruitments, and other
classic espionage methods to steal the secrets of America’s technology sector of the era. Disrupting Time
details a fascinating tale of cutthroat competition, industrial espionage, societal development, and a great
world’s fair using the archival reports and letters of the spies, the Waltham Watch Company, and records
from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition. The themes of this book are explored through the eyes of Waltham,
the Swiss watchmakers, and their main characters: Royal Robbins, Ambrose Webster, Jacques David,
Theophilus Gribi, and Edouard Favre-Perret. This is the story of industrial combat, an industry "broken
apart" and "thrown into disorder", and how a cottage industry of Swiss watchmakers organized to defeat an
American industrial power.
