English clock and watch makers were at the very forefront of design and
manufacture throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century. This is a
fascinating guide to the works of art they created and the men who made
them - alongside a glossary of terms connected to horology. Many old
works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and
it is with this in mind that this text is being republished now in an
affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new
introduction on the subject.
