All in Good Time is the remarkable story of George Daniels
(1926-2011), the master craftsman, who was born into poverty but
raised himself to become the greatest watchmaker of the twentieth
century. Daniels stands alone in modern times as the inventor of
the revolutionary co-axial escapement, the first substantial
advance in portable mechanical timekeeping over the lever
escapement, which has dominated ever since its invention in 1759.
Daniels's love of mechanics embraced not only the minute, however -
he was also a passionate collector and driver of historic
motorcars. This revised and expanded edition of his autobiography
also contains a new section that illustrates and discusses over
thirty of the pocket and wrist-watches Daniels himself made over
the years. Witness here the triumph of intelligence, ingenuity,
matchless skill and singularity of purpose over the most
unpromising of beginnings.
