This has proved one of the most popular books on clocks - equally suitable for beginners and knowledgeable collectors. It has in the course of several printings established itself as a standard work of reference. It provides an authoritative survey of the whole field of clockmaking from the earliest times. The author did much research into the lives of the more famous seventeenth and eighteenth century clockmakers, and this provides the background to fresh discoveries on escapements and equation work.
