The beauty of carriage clocks and their accompanying cases is an
integral part of their design, but one aspect-their intricate
movements-also displays solutions to mechanical problems that only
the genius designer could solve. In this major new work by an
expert clock historian and restorer, the reader will find over 400
exquisite color and 285 black-and-white photographs of hundreds of
traveling clocks, as well as the explanations of all the major
designers' work from the 17th century forward. Special chapters
present the work of noted clockmakers Breguet, Garnier, Vulliamy,
Cole, Frodsham, McCabe, Dent, white and more. Swiss, Austrian,
French, English, and a few American traveling clocks are included.
Since these clocks were technically advanced, scientific
instruments of their day, they first were made for royal and
wealthy patrons with the finest gilt, porcelain enamel, and jeweled
materials. The book displays these fantastically beautiful works of
art-miniature clocks as well as full-size ones-and more common
popular styles available today.
