CHRONOMETERS - Marine and pocket chronometers, pocket watches with
tourbillons or carousels form, in the large family of clocks, a
small group of very precisely running timepieces with little
sensitivity to external influences, such as variations in
temperature. In the text, the author takes up the fascinating
development and history of the chronometer, portrays the most
important manufactures in short biographies, and reports on the
great voyages of discovery in the 18th Century that proved the
utility of the chronometer as a navigational instrument. The
illustration section, divided into five sections on the basis of
historical and technical standpoints, portays some 350 items in the
antique trade and at auctions or seen in private collections, with
special emphasis placed on illustrations of their movements.
