Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives and contributions of women and men of color to the field of horology, an industry that is typically thought of as dominated by White men. The author's ground-breaking work sheds light on often-overlooked stories of individuals like Thomas Downing, considered to be the first Black watchmaker in the United States, and inventor Granville T. Woods. The book discusses inequities within the industry, such as the lack of opportunities for women and people of color, as well as how these same communities created spaces and organizations that fostered growth and opportunities for themselves. Through extensive research and interviews, this book gives a voice to those whose contributions to the field of horology have been marginalized, building a more inclusive and rich narrative of the industry as a whole.
