Clockmaking in England has a long and illustrious history, from the first clocks in medieval monasteries, through the Renaissance to the 'Golden Age' of the 17th and 18th centuries and into the modern world of mass production. This book is an introduction to the innovations pioneered by English horologists and scientists, who led a revolution in clock design, transforming astronomy and navigation that was essential to the making of the modern world. Alongside these developments, English craftsmen produced timepieces of unrivalled beauty and quality, many of which are now treasured antiques.
