Clock (4) - Paper - 1960-1970

Books on the origins of horology.
Four books on chronometry and timepieces in the German language.
The development is treated from the early 13th century with water clocks and hourglasses to the early modern period of the twentieth century with atomic clocks and radio-controlled timekeeping instruments. The history of development, from gatekeeper clocks, clocks for use in houses, tower clocks and specialist precise timepieces for a variety of scientific and societal purposes is covered.
Extensively, various types of clocks are discussed, as well as origins regionally and nationally. Technical falsifications, materials, restorations, names of clockmakers, etc., pass under review.
