- This book has a brief history of watches and then proceeds to describe most of the great watchmakers history plus some of the most gorgeous illustrations you'll ever see of great watches.
- same as prestigious watches...What's the purpose of this book? who can believe that concord and roberge can decently stand next to Patek... this book is 200 pages of advertising.

1 comments about From Garden to Belfry: An Illustrated Guide to Making Clocks and Hour-Strikers.
- I have always been interested in clocks and clockworks. I am an engineer and the intricacies of clockworks, and watchworks, fascinate me. I bought this book hoping to learn about designing and building clockworks.
However, the book is really more of a vanity press type of work - it's more about the author's history working with clocks than about the construction of them. There are several hand-drawn diagrams included, but they are more schematic in nature. I'm afraid that the book did not help me move in the direction I wanted to go. However, it should be noted that there is quite a bit of information available in the book regarding tower clocks, and some interesting information about designs the author has built.
