In this concise and useful volume, Eric Smith addresses the major problems and concerns of clock owners, who may not have the benefit of expert knowledge.

Helpful advice is given on where to go for expert assessment, valuation, buying and selling, and insurance of antique or purely decorative clocks. A comprehensive glossary sets out technical terms, while an extensive section on different types of clock will aid identification, enabling the clock owner to understand and participate in the care of their clock.
