This book is the autobiography of George Daniels, acclaimed horologist and author of Watchmaking. In it, he discusses his humble upbringing and background, his first encounters with watches and time pieces, his passionate and persistent love of automobiles, and his technical contributions to modern horology, first and foremost amongst these, perhaps, his development of the co-axial escapement. All in Good Time provides an intimate and in-depth look at the life of one of Britain’s most important watchmakers.
