American Clockmakers and Watchmakers by Sonya L. & Thomas J. Spittler, and Chris H. Bailey. The book was published 2000 by Arlington Book. You will find 336 pages - 8 1/2 x 11 - Smyth sewn hardbound on high gloss enamel text. This book is the third in a series on American Clocks published by Arlington Book Company, Inc., a keen horological publishing company run by Tran Duy Ly. It is in fact a dictionary of American clock and watch makers, listing brief biographical details of 16,000 makers. The compilers, who have been well known for many years in the clock world, have between them the unique combination of the experience necessary for such a task: including research, genealogy and the clocks and watches themselves. It is necessary not just to slavishly copy entries from other books, which anyone can do, but to understand the nature of what is met with and to be able to make sense of it, revise it when needed and set it down accurately. If this sounds easy, try spending nine wearing years at it, as these authors have, and see if it still seems easy. |
