"An extraordinary book in every way, exploring the changing use of clocks and watches offering new insights into early perceptions of time and its practical use. The book's author ... must be congratulated on the in-depth research that has led to a reinterpretation of early clock and watch dials on the basis of use. ... This is a fascinating and compelling exploration of an extraordinary period of change for all aspects of life seen through the development of the watch and clock dials."
