Antique Clocks, Watches and Timepieces
 

 

Other Items

Books and their related items are as important to collecting and enjoying the Horological items as having the actual item.  It is my belief that it is only with understanding the history, the people , the times and all the different ways that man has invented to tell time that you can begin to be appreciative  what others have done.  This field is more that just have a price guide to look up your newest purchase.  While there is, a place for the price guide the real story goes beyond the price guide.

I offer these books not so much for the sales it gives me, but to provide you with a place to start collecting for your own library. If you can find these books for less that is fine, I only ask that you begin to build you library and to read the stories of how it all happened. This is the stuff where you will find the love of the men that helped us along the journey in the measuring time.
