Within the collection are examples ranging from sixteenth-century early stackfreed watches made in south Germany to exquisite decorative watches of the seventeenth century. Everyday watches from the eighteenth century and precision-made chronometers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are included, as are examples from the modern era. All the major makers of Europe and America will be represented, including Thomas Tompion, whose reputation stretched far and wide even in his own time, and the Swiss-born Abraham Louis Breguet, who lived and worked in Paris supplying the best that money could buy to the crown heads and aristocratic families of the western world.

There are also extensive collections of pin-pallet lever watches made for the mass market during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by companies such as Waterbury and Ingersoll. The collections are brought up to the minute with the inclusion of early examples of electro-mechanical watches and the quartz revolution.Sprache: EnglischHerstellungsland und -region: GBHöhe: 245mmLänge: 245mmGewicht: 880g Information fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: Watches, Publikationsname: Watches, Title: Watches, EAN: 9780714151106, Genre: Architecture & Antiques, Thematik: Arts & Photography, Erscheinungsdatum: 27.05.2014, Sprache: Englisch, Herstellungsland und -region: GB, Höhe: 245mm, Länge: 245mm, Gewicht: 880g, British Museum Press, 2014<
