English and American Watches

Af: George Daniels Engelsk Hardback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
In this long-awaited reprint - first published in 1967 - the late George Daniels, a master watchmaker of the twentieth century, documents the important contribution made by England and America in the development of the pocket watch from the earliest times to late 1960s America. Daniels tells of the sequence of technical developments that led to the production of electric and electronic watches. It is a fascinating story for all who appreciate not only a watch’s technical niceties but also the intrinsic beauty with which devoted craftsmen endowed it. Mr Daniels’ concise, learned account, which places each phase of the story in its true perspective, will be found indispensable both by collectors and by those new to the history of watchmaking. Over a hundred photographs together with a series of clear line drawings, emphasise the watchmakers’ achievement in marrying pure function and beauty, and at the same time illustrate the changes in movements that accompanied progress in external appearance.
