Reviews

[Royce Ratterman · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fabulous historical examination of the history of horology, filled with a plethora of exquisite photographs and magnificently detailed with concise descriptions and chapter-textual overviews of the eras depicted within this literary work. Many 'possible' explanations (speculations) are found, but they do provide a starting point for further research.

Read for personal research.
Overall, a good book for the researcher and enthusiast.

I found this book's contents helpful and inspiring - number rating relates to the book's contribution to my needs.
