THE HISTORY OF CLOCK AND WATCHES - By Eric Bruton - Hardback Book | |
| |
ISBN: 0517377446 | £20.00

| |
| The measurement of time was one of man's earliest obsession, and the desire to create even greater precision in time-keeping has inspired generations in the fields of mathematics and science. Equally, each advance has produced accompanying works of great craftsmanship which have cloaked object of sober function with a mantle of outstanding beauty. As the illustrations in the book show, clocks and watches are not only functional, but their cases are beautiful examples of the work of jeweller, engraver, enameller and woodcarver. There is also a chapter on the great clocks and watches of the world which includes the massive and immutable Stonehenge as well as Jens Olsen's twentieth century masterpiece of precision.
