Lavishly illustrated in full colour, it is an easy-to-understand guide for the complete beginner. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and those that are used are explained in the glossary. There is essential guidance on how to trace faults.

  American Clocks, An Introduction

Over the years, America has thrown up many distinctive horological styles, from the Banjo clocks of the Willard family and the Girandoles of Lemuel Curtis, through the short-lived wagon-spring clock and the all-pervasive Ogee. The evolution and development of these styles and many more are discussed in detail in American Clocks, An Introduction by Ohio-based Tom Spittler, one of America's best-known horological authors.
