THE CLOCK

This is the only book published so far on the complete historical and technical aspects of

mechanical clocks, those timekeepers which are increasingly becoming reminders of bygone days. The author is an engineer and a passionate collector of clocks and skilfully explains their (technical) composition, the way their movement works and which features after all make them acting as timekeepers.

He further delivers comprehensive instructions on service, care and maintenance and those kind of repairs which can be conducted even by technically gifted laymen without the special equipment of a clockmaker.
