Old pocket watches are endlessly fascinating and collectable. This
book traces the history and development of the watch, concentrating
largely on the successful designs produced during the period
1750-1900. These pieces were made in large numbers and are thus
relatively easy to find, handle and own. With the aid of over 80
drawings and photographs, author Maxwell Cutmore shows how the
different movements work, and discusses the many efforts to improve
timekeeping over the years.
For collectors, this book provides a wealth of useful advice on
repairing, buying and selling watches, plus guidelines for
conducting simple research. They'll find plenty of hints on what to
look for and pitfalls to avoid, ensuring that modest resources are
wisely spent for hours of interest and enjoyment.
