Hardcover / Pappeinband. Etat : Sehr gut. First ed. 469 pp. Fresh and clean hardcover copy with original dustjacket in good condition. / Sauberes Hardcover-Exemplar mit Original-Schutzumschlag in gutem Zustand. - Imagine a world without clocks. The only descriptive word is primitive. In an age of to-the-second timing, it's easy to forget that until the 14th century sundials and waterclocks were the only semi-scientific way of keeping time. No general could say, "Synchronize your sundials." No herald could proclaim the hour beyond the range of his own voice and the accuracy of his own guess. This massivetribute to time, the ultimate chronicle of chronology, is enhanced with many photographs. The history is engrossing: Once the principle was established, clockmakers outdid one another in producing lavish, complicated timepieces, many of which survive in museums. With a bright text that reads like fiction, the author traces development of clocks and watchmaking to the present day. Famous names all are here - Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars-Piguet, even Elgin and Bulova. With wit and knowledge, the author carries the tale into "The Quartz Revolution." - Contents: Preface - Introduction - I. Finding Time - A Magnificent Dead End - 2. Why are the Memorials Late? - 3. Are you sleeping, Brother John? - 4. The greatest necessity for every rank of men - II. Keeping Time - 5. My time is my time - 6. Of toys and ornaments and serious things - 7. my time is your time - 8. Approaching the asymptote - 9. The man who stayed to dinner - 10. The french connection - 11. Fame is the Spur - III. Making Time - 12. Clocks in the Belfry - 13. The Good old days that never were - 14. The ups and downs of international competition - 15. Multum in Parvo - 16. Notwithstanding the Banrrenness of the Soil - 17. Nor could he compete with us - 18. Ah, But he could! - 19. Not one in fifty thousand - 20. Who killed Cock Robin? - 21.
