Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of horology, exploring the intricate mechanics and scientific principles behind timekeeping. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing world, the author emphasizes the increasing demand for precise timekeeping in various aspects of life. The text delves into the historical evolution of timekeeping, tracing the journey from rudimentary sundials and single-handed town clocks to the sophisticated chronometers of the present day. The author underscores the collaborative efforts of theorists and skilled artisans in achieving these remarkable advancements. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental concepts of cosmography and mechanics as they relate to horology. Readers will gain insights into the workings of motive forces, wheel-work calculations, gearings, escapements, and the crucial art of adjusting and regulating timepieces. By bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application, this book empowers aspiring horologists and watchmakers to contribute to the ongoing pursuit of precision and excellence in the art of timekeeping. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
