Makes me more appreciative of my father's Stratford Watch (6 jewels) which he got as a gift at his Christian Confirmation in 1920 (or so). Not too techy on watchmaking, just enough. She comments on digital watches and their evolvement to today.
She takes us into how clocks evolved from ship's captains to playthings for the rich and well-off, to clocks and watches ( not so different than today). Certainly worth the read. I had it serviced in 1974 in Park Ridge, Illinois.
