In this lively and informative discussion, James helps to understand how managing time has been the key to many of man’s most important inventions, especially over the past century. As Chair of the Antiquarian Horological Society and recent Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, James explains two of the oldest and most intriguing watch organisations, places where anyone with an interest in watchmaking can access extensive horological research and information available.

A splendid discussion by an expert on everything before and after electrical and Quartz timekeeping.

Unreservedly recommended.
