Riassunto

This book on the cultural, technological, and manufacturing aspects of measuring time and making clocks is expanded here with a new preface and updated passages exploring findings about medieval and early-modern time keeping, as well as contemporary hi-tech uses of the watch as mini-computer, cellular phone, and even radio receiver or TV screen.
