The author has traced the eventful history of clocks and watches and discusses many interesting side developments: that clocks and watches were the first technical products to be traded by Europe with the East; that the mastery of timekeeping at sea in the 18th and 19th centuries brought accurate navigation and the charting of the world's coastlines.
There is a chapter devoted to clocks and watches in North America. Certain early American clockmakers gained great eminence, and the finest development of the shelf clock was a purely American design.
This book is liberally illustrated with over 200 pictures, many in full colour.
