Description

Explore the fascinating history of mechanical art with this Schiffer Publishing book. This guide covers the evolution of fantasy clocks from the 13th century to the present day. You can learn about early public clocks that tracked the movements of the sun, moon, earth, and planets. The book details the development of Jacks, which are human figures designed to strike the hours, and the rise of automata. These mechanical figures perform various acts, such as the famous four knights on horseback that joust at Wells Cathedral in England. With a presentation of over 300 clocks for both buildings and tabletops, this volume provides concise historical context for collectors of unique timepieces that do much more than simply tell time.
