Berthoud's How to Manage & Regulate Clocks & Watches, Seymour translation, New!

Description

How to Manage and Regulate Clocks and Watches by M. Ferdinand Berthoud
How to Manage and Regulate Clocks and Watches
is a new English translation of the first
owners manual
for timepieces. The book was written in 1759, a time when watches and clocks were first becoming available to the public. Titled
L art de conduire et de regler les Pendules et les Montres. A l usage de ceux qui n ont aucune connaissance d Horlogerie
will appear extremely basic. For instance, it starts with a description of the difference between mean and solar time. However, the reader must remember that this was not a technical age, and it original readers may not have been familiar with simple concepts such as friction, lubrication, or
storing power in a spring or by raising a weight
. A book that provides insight into the practice of timekeeping in everyday life in its early years, Lawrence Alan Seymour's translation is a welcome addition to the horological library.
