About this title

Synopsis

自意识到时间的存在起，人类就一直在尝试用各种方式捕捉和记录时间的流逝，并在此过程中创造出了大量令人惊叹的计时器，在不同的历史时期为当时的人们提供了安排自身活动的可靠参考。

人类既珍惜时间，也珍视这种用于记录时间的工具。本书中，作者精心挑选了二十八件计时器。它们有的毫不起眼，有的极尽奢华；有的为了彰显自身地位，有的为了改变国家的命运……从旧石器时代的狒狒腓骨到太空腕表，从地中海海底到月球表面，从詹姆斯一世时期的伦敦到11世纪的中国，人类一直在不断尝试“驯服时间”。书中还特别介绍了历史上那些令人惊叹的、奢华的钟表——从大本钟到劳力士，并试图告诉我们，计时器并不再纯粹关注功能，也关注设计。
