Discussing the role of museums in the conservation of antique clocks and the modern demand for them through the antiques trade, this historical and scientific look at English clockmaking in the 18th century links clocks to breakthroughs in both mathematics and astronomy. The craftsmanship required for the glass, gold, ivory, lacquer, textile, turtleshell, and wood cases of the period is described, and horology is positioned as a developing career field because of the dearth of skilled technicians working today.
