Description
The Morbier Clock: A Unique Horological Industry. Located in eastern France, the commune of Morbier is an unlikely place for a thriving horological cottage industry. However, its unique combination of skilled blacksmiths and agricultural laborers created a market for inexpensive, dependable clocks that could be repaired locally. This led to the development of the morbier clock, a distinctive contrast to the finely crafted clocks often associated with France. Lawrence Seymour's comprehensive guide brings together the fascinating history of morbier clocks, identification parameters, and repair information. The book is divided into four parts, covering the development of the clocks over time, their mechanical components, and techniques for restoration. A valuable resource for collectors seeking to understand and preserve these unique timepieces.
