A scholarly, comprehensive and indepth look at the history of the pocket watch from its origins to about 1830 (contrary to what the title implies, all industrial watchmaking in the second half of the 19th century and all watchmaking outside France, Switzerland and England is completly ignored). Looks at the historic/social element, the technology development, and the artistic/fashion development.
