The necessity of having some mechanism for marking the passing of the hours has brought into existence an infinite variety of time-keepers, and this variety has made the collecting of clocks and watches one of the most interesting fields for the collector. Since men must collect, how fortunate are they when the objects of their search show the change and development of an artistic handicraft through a course of centuries.
