Description

1691 On Clocks Watches Sundials Horology Navigation Compass Illustrated Physics

“By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.”

– Victor Hugo

An incredible, famous work on the history of watch making! Pocket watches became remarkable popular in the mid-17th-century, thus making them became a profitable and demanding profession. This book by Pierre Saint Marie Magdelaine details specifics on watch making. However, watchmaking was not his only forte. This work deals with astronomy and navigation, techniques on developing sundials and other chronographs. Magdelaine applies principles of spherical trigonometry to methods of knowing stars and star reading. This book also teaches methods on building sundials, terrestrial and marine clocks, as well as practical methods of cutting stone and wood.

This edition includes 72 full-page engravings of geometric figures, watches, and compasses, as well as a section on stereotomy – a new edition to this printing.
