English Dial Clocks
Ronald Rose
The author is an experienced horologist who has acquired a specialised knowledge in the best possible way, by handling hundreds of examples and repairing a large number himself. The various types are carefully documented and beautifully photographed. The evolution is explained not only of the clocks themselves but also of their features, such as hands, bezels, pillars and dial surrounds, which are illustrated with clear line drawings and detailed photographs of mechanisms. Now in its second edition, with additional illustrations and two new chapters, Unusual Dial Clocks and The Later Years , this invaluable book earns its place on the shelf of both the horologist, and the collector of these attractive timepieces.
