This early work on watch and clockmaking is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all horologists. It includes discussions of: Stop Watches, Chronographs, Antique Clock and Clock Case Terms, Dates of English Period Styles, Metals Used in Horology, Marbles and Ornamental Stones, Clock Case Woods, Mouldings, Winding Button Styles... and much, much more! Many old works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the subject.
