Customer Reviews

No need for 2 volumes
The review featured here is for the old 'volume 2' that accompanied the original Baillie's 'volume 1'. This new book is the two together so don't buy the partner volume! Just buy this, it's great value...

Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the world
This book is an invaluable reference for anyone intersted in old clocks and pocket watches, together with its companion book (vol 1) by Baillie) it is the only worthwhile listing of makers I have come across.
