The British Museum's superb collection of clocks and watches covers the history of horology since the medieval period in greater depth and diversity than perhaps any other collection in the world. This book features sixty-six of the rarest and most interesting clocks in the Museum's collection, ranging from early examples of domestic clock-making to novelty clocks of the twentieth century. A great many of the most celebrated makers are represented by some of their best works, including Isaac Habrecht's famous carillon clock, and the year-going clock made by Thomas Tompion for King William III. There are table clocks, astrolabic and astronomical clocks, monstrance clocks, ships' clocks, long case clocks, travelling clocks, organ clocks, observatory regulators, marine chronometers and even a cuckoo clock. Accompanied by numerous colour photographs, the mechanical workings and decorative aspects of each clock are illustrated and described in detail, making this the perfect introduction to a perennially fascinating subject.
