Description
The Practical Watch Escapement by George Daniels George Daniels's groundbreaking work in horology is exemplified in his co-axial escapement, a mechanism that revolutionized watchmaking. By addressing the limitations of existing lever escapements, Daniels created a new design that minimizes rate deviations over time. This innovative solution has remained largely unchanged since its introduction in 1977 and continues to be used in watches manufactured by Daniels himself and several other reputable wrist-watch manufacturers. This book provides an accessible explanation of the escapement's action, accompanied by detailed line drawings. Whether you are an expert or looking for a deeper understanding of this complex topic, this publication offers a valuable insight into the world of horology. With its clear and concise language, The Practical Watch Escapement is an essential resource for anyone interested in watches, clockmaking, or the history of horological innovation.
