This practical, informative and beautifully illustrated book will
be essential reading for all those with a passion for mechanical
clocks. It will be of particular interest to both amateurs and
professionals alike who wish to work on clock cases and restore
them in the correct way according to modern best practice. The
authors, both experienced horological restorers, examine in detail
the restoration processes and provide detailed descriptions, and a
wealth of photographs and diagrams. Difficult, and often
misunderstood, areas of restoration and conservation are explained
in the context of twenty-first thinking. The haphazard approach to
clock case restoration, which has continued in some quarters almost
to the present day, is no longer considered appropriate for
preservation of the rapidly dwindling stock of clocks that
represent our horological heritage. Accordingly, the authors
emphasize that sensitive and sympathetic clock case restoration is
essential and, indeed, is the most economically attractive approach
to adopt.
