Hands of time: a watchmaker's history
(Book)
An award-winning British watchmaker takes readers on a journey through the history of time-keeping, from the earliest attempts to keep track of the passing of days to the engineering breakthrough that created the first watch.
Timepieces have accompanied human society from the depths of the oceans to the summit of Everest; the ice of the Arctic to the surface of the moon. Struthers provides a history of watchmaking, describing our earliest attempts at timekeeping and the ways in which it has shaped our attitudes to work, leisure, trade, politic, exploration, and mortality. -- adapted from jacket.
