Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Wristwatch Handbook' provides the reader with a comprehensive anatomy of the mechanical wristwatch; every conceivable function and form. It is the foundational text for the novice and the reference book for the seasoned enthusiast. Where other books about watches focus on advising the collector, on a single brand, or on a timeline of key historical figures and events, 'The Wristwatch Handbook' takes a detailed look at mechanical wristwatch complications (functions) and leaves no stone unturned. The reader will gain the ability to identify a complicated watch from twenty paces and perform a top-to-bottom assessment of even the most exotic timepiece in a matter of seconds. Despite the functional obsolescence of the mechanical wristwatch (our phones, computers, even microwaves tell more accurate time), there are more varieties of mechanical watches available than ever before. Today, innovation is no longer exclusively preoccupied with accuracy; pioneer manufacturers are also exploring friction reduction, anti-magnetism, scratch resistance, dial decoration, exotic materials and so on.

Book excerpt: The "most clever plotter on the planet"(Publishers Weekly) Jeffery Deaver returns in this twisty new thriller, as forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and detective Amelia Sachs track a criminal with a bizarre and catastrophic m.o.—toppling the construction cranes in New York City. When a New York City construction crane mysteriously collapses, causing mass destruction and injury, Rhyme and Sachs are on the case. A political group claims responsibility for the sabotage and threatens another attack in twenty-four hours, unless its demands are met. The clock is ticking. Then a clue reveals to Rhyme that his nemesis, known as the Watchmaker, has come to town to fulfill his promise of murdering the criminalist. Now Rhyme and Sachs have to dodge his brilliant scheme to destroy them both, while racing against time to stop the construction site terrorists. With New York in a panic, Rhyme and his team must unravel a handful of plots as tightly wound as a timepiece—before more cranes fall, raining down death and destruction from above.

OX VARIOUS SCALES.' * Compiled from data given in " A few facts connected with the Elements of Watch and Clock Making." By C. Frodsham. (1862.) SIZES OF MOVEMENTS. 463 Explanation of the above table.--The measurements are taken across the pillar plate. With a view to facilitate reference, the series of sizes on the French line scale are taken as a basis, as it covers the widest range, and only those sizes on the Lancashire scale that correspond to this series are given; the figures that indicate sizes on these two scales being printed in somewhat heavier type. When only a single Lancashire size is mentioned opposite to a line size it is to be understood that the two very nearly correspond, and if two numbers are given on the former scale opposite to one on the latter, it means that the French size is intermediate between the two on the English scale. Thus the line size 18 is almost identical with the Lancashire size 13, and their exact difference can be ascertained from columns 2 and 5 of the table. On the other hand, the French size 20 is intermediate between the English sizes 18 and 19, and the error that would be made by adopting either number as an equivalent can be at once determined by comparing the respective values in inches. In a similar manner the third column, giving sizes on the millimetre scale, can be used in conjunction with column 1 or 4; indeed, the table affords a means of approximately ascertaining the size of a movement on any one scale when it is known on any other. The rule for determining the value in inches of any size on the Lancashire scale is as follows: --Taking an initial inch, add to it 5-30ths of an inch (an allowance for the "fall," or room to enable the movement to open and shut in the case), and the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All in Good Time is the remarkable story of George Daniels (1926-2011), the master craftsman, who was born into poverty but raised himself to become the greatest watchmaker of the twentieth century. Daniels stands alone in modern times as the inventor of the revolutionary co-axial escapement, the first substantial advance in portable mechanical timekeeping over the lever escapement, which has dominated ever since its invention in 1759. Daniels's love of mechanics embraced not only the minute, however - he was also a passionate collector and driver of historic motorcars. This revised and expanded edition of his autobiography also contains a new section that illustrates and discusses over thirty of the pocket and wrist-watches Daniels himself made over the years. Witness here the triumph of intelligence, ingenuity, matchless skill and singularity of purpose over the most unpromising of beginnings.

Book excerpt: Over a short ten-year time-span, Hodinkee has positioned itself as the preeminent and most distinguished destination for modern and vintage wristwatch enthusiasts. Exiting a career in finance, Ben Clymer decided to fuse his horological and writing passions in order to start a blog discussing everything from new products to vintage wristwatch auctions. Titling his endeavor after the Czech word hodinky, which means ‘little watch,’ Clymer sought to create a platform that was casual and accessible to all levels of enthusiasts—within a few years The New York Times dubbed him the “High Priest of Horology.”
