This vintage book contains a comprehensive catalogue of books, articles, manuscripts, and other material related to watch making and maintenance up until 1875. Each article listed in the catalogue contains information relating to the title of the work, its author(s), when and by whom it was published, the number of volumes, helpful notes, and any other appropriate information. This volume will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in vintage watchmaking literature. Contents include: "Books", "Manuscripts", "Prints", "Specimens", and "Portraits". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of clocks and watches. First published in 1875.
