Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of clockmaking, offering a detailed exploration of the mechanics and construction of timepieces during a period when the technology was still in its infancy. The author guides the reader through the complexities of gear ratios, pinions, and wheels, providing practical instructions and calculations for crafting both striking clocks and watches. The book goes beyond simple timekeeping, however, offering insights into the astronomical and scientific innovations that were being incorporated into clockwork during this era. Readers are given a glimpse into the fascinating world of horological engineering, with detailed explanations of how to build clocks capable of tracking the phases of the moon, the orbits of planets, and even the calendar. The authorââ â¢s meticulous explanations of these intricate mechanisms, along with his inclusion of practical examples, makes this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of clockmaking and the ingenuity of the era. This book provides a unique window into a time when the boundaries between clockwork and scientific discovery were constantly being pushed and redefined.
