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.
