Description from the seller
Klaus Maurice: ‘ Die Deutsche Räderuhr’ Antiquarian!
Two books in German about the development and history of the timepiece in the broadest sense of the word. They cover the origin of time measurement from water clocks from the 15th century to the 19th century. The technique, the development of the many watch types, the various German-speaking clock centers and their production. Many names of master clockmakers and less-known clockmakers. Many early iron clocks and somewhat later bronze clocks of very high quality from German-speaking clockmaking are treated on the basis of drawings, black-and-white and color photographs.
From tower clock, domestic timepieces to portable time-measuring instruments in the form of precious pocket and pendant watches. Indispensable reference works for every serious clock enthusiast, amateur or professional.
