Clocks (Orbis Connoisseur's Library) by Cedric Jagger 1973
The origins of clockwork are obscure, but in this book the author gives an authoritative assessment of the facts and myths surrounding man's most sophisticated invention. From the thirteenth century much more is known about the clockmaker's art, and the author describes the changing styles of clocks and watches through the ages and the development of time-measuring devices of spllit-second accuracy from what were originally little more than novelties and toys. Superb color illustrations complement the text.
