Description

Discover the fascinating history of mechanical timepieces with this comprehensive guide from Schiffer Publishing Ltd. This book serves as a complete resource for collectors interested in the art of fantasy clocks. It explores the evolution of timekeeping from the 13th century to the present day, covering how public clocks began to track the movements of the sun, moon, earth, and other planets. Readers will learn about the development of Jacks, the human figures used to strike the hours, and the rise of automata. You can explore mechanical wonders like the four knights on horseback that joust at Wells Cathedral in England. With detailed information on over 300 different clocks designed for both buildings and tabletops, this book provides a deep look into machines that do much more than simply tell time. It is an essential addition to any library focused on antiques and mechanical history.
