Old Clocks & Watches & Their Makers
By FJ Britten
Published by BT Batsford: London 1911 (3rd Edition - Much Enlarged)

" F. J. Britten's Old Clocks & Watches & Their Makers (B. T. Batsford, London, 1911, 3rd Edition) is one of the most authoritative and enduring reference works in horological literature. Meticulously researched, it traces the evolution of clock and watchmaking from the earliest mechanisms of the Middle Ages through to the innovations of the nineteenth century. Britten documents hundreds of makers from Britain, Europe, and America, detailing their marks, signatures, and technical contributions. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations, plates, and diagrams showing timepieces of every variety—from ornate longcase clocks to finely crafted pocket watches—making it invaluable for historians, collectors, and restorers alike.

This 1911 third edition, expanded and revised from earlier printings, reflects Britten's continuing scholarship and the growing interest in horology among Edwardian collectors. Beautifully produced by B. T. Batsford, it combines scholarly precision with visual richness, preserving the artistry and craftsmanship of centuries past. The volume would appeal to serious horologists, antique dealers, and collectors of fine reference works devoted to the mechanical and aesthetic heritage of timekeeping."
