About this title

Synopsis

This early work on English clocks is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all horologists. Contents Include: The Beginnings of the English School of Clock-making, The Weight-driven Clock, The Spring-driven Clock, Clock-making in Sixteenth-Century England, The English School of Clock-making from 1600 to 1660, The Pendulum, The Charles II School of Clock-making, 1660-1700, Clock Cases of the Seventeenth Century, English Clock-making in the Eighteenth Century, and Clock Cases of the Eighteenth Century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
