The standard work "Black Forest Clocks" provides a comprehensive overview of 200 years of history in Black Forest clockmaking. The author's profound expertise and the rich visual material give readers a vivid impression of the masterpieces created by Black Forest clockmakers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Starting with a detailed depiction of the shape and technique of the well-known Black Forest lacquer shield clocks, the author progresses from the first wooden wheel clocks to calendar clocks and elaborate striking mechanisms, leading to imaginative figurine clocks and Black Forest music clocks. The precious miniatures of Sorg and Jockele clocks and the diversity of production in the decades following 1850 are also covered in detail. A brand new chapter discusses the export of Black Forest clocks to America since 1750, along with a chapter about a clock made in Saxony by Black Forest clockmakers.
