Captivating and inspiring
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
A beautifully photographed collection of pocket watches, from very old "oignons" to verge fusee and more modern examples. There's probably a metaphor in the contrast between the highly accurate models with plain exteriors, and the ones where the maker put all the expense into the case and dial but stinted on the internal mechanism. This book would probably not be of interest to the serious collector or historian as it is by no means exhaustive.
