Opis: Rolex wer. angielska - Opracowanie zbiorowe

A beautifully illustrated and in-depth look at horology—the scientific study of time and timekeeping.

Horology is a thorough introduction to the world of time and watchmaking. Brimming with more than 150 detailed and full-color images, illustrations, charts, and technical drawings, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the art of watchmaking and watch design.
It includes the requisite exploration and presentation of the rarest, most-coveted, and classic watch designs and styles, including Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Rolex, Cartier, Breitling and many others.
Topics include:

    early calendars,
    modern timekeeping,
    the smallest unit of time,
    the twin paradox,
    the golden ratio,
    rvolving design, using the Vacheron Constantin 222 as a case study, and
    decorative watchmaking techniques, including brushing, chamfering, circular graining, chiseling, and more.

A multifaceted study, Horology discusses the philosophy and measurement of time, the possibility of time travel, and the emergent smartwatch industry. What once seemed complicated will be demystified through a comprehensive overview of watch movements, complications, and parts. A behind-the-scenes peek into the watch industry, plus pricing and market data, rounds out the contents.

Readers will leave these pages with a newfound, renewed, and enhanced love of watchmaking, as well as an increased appreciation for the value and passing of time. A watch is our most intimate connection with time and a way to keep in touch with our artisanal past.
