"Chats on Old Clocks" by Arthur Hayden is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the artistry and craftsmanship of old clocks, focusing particularly on English domestic clocks and their makers. It provides insights into the evolution of clock design and construction, the notable clockmakers of the past, and the significance of different styles and mechanisms. The opening of the book presents an introduction to the concept of timekeeping, detailing how early mechanisms were developed, particularly focusing on the pendulum's introduction, which revolutionized clockmaking. Hayden emphasizes the artistic and scientific evolution of clocks, highlighting the transformation from primitive timekeeping devices to complex machines. He also reflects on the cultural significance of clocks in domestic settings and sets the stage for further exploration of specific types and styles of clocks throughout the volume.
