This antiquarian volume contains a short account of some of the
curiosities of the mechanical details of watches, with supplementary
information on their history, development, popularity, and much more
besides. Written in clear, concise language and full of interesting
facts and information about the intricate machinations of timepieces,
this little text will be of much value to the watch enthusiast, and
makes for a wonderful addition to any personal library. Many older works
such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is
with this in mind that this work is being republished now in an
affordable modern edition, complete with a new introduction on the
history of clocks and watches.
