על הספר

As the illustrations in this book show, clocks and watches are not only functional, but their cases are beautiful examples of the art of the jeweller, engraver, enameller and woodcarver. This elegant combination of art and science can be seen in a wide selection of design masterpieces, ranging from the exuberant gilding of the French rococo, to the simple domesticity of American shelf clocks and the superb marquetry of the longcase clock. With a special chapter on the great clocks and watches of the world, The History of Clocks and Watches is one of the most lucid and authoritative catalogues of man's obsession with time and timepieces.
