The watch has a long and fascinating history, from a
fifteenth-century status symbol of the rich and powerful to the
mass-produced everyday timepiece of modern times. This book
describes the main technical developments across a 500-year
timespan, from the beginnings in Germany and France, through the
golden age of English horology in the 18th century, to the
development of modern factory production in America and
Switzerland. It also sets out to give the general reader and
collector a grasp of the key technological developments in watch
and sets the lives of the inventors and artisans in the context of
the social and economic history of their times. With over 290
photographs and 3D diagrams, this book includes an extensive
listing and history of watch brands and manufacturers to assist in
identification along with a useful glossary of terms.
