Discusses the mechanical and design advances made during each of the great eras of clockmaking as well as picturing and describing elegant antique timepieces
THE WORLD'S GREATEST CLOCKS AND WATCHES BY CEDRIC JAGGER-From those first horological dinosaurs (earliest clocks and watches), accurate to within a few hours a day to the latest mechanical movements, whose accuracy can be counted in fractions of a second, was a long uphill road, with considerableperiods of little or no progress punctuated by a few sudden advances contributed by a handful of geniuses from several countries, including France, Germany, Italy, America and Japan as well as Great Britain. Cedric Jagger, Assistant Curator of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers' collection, traces this road with infectious enthusiasm combined with a rare gift for language.
