Comprehensive monograph on the history and typology of skeleton clocks. The author traces the origins of this type of clock and describes its development in almost every conceivable form and technical variation - from complex calendar displays, sidereal time displays and musical movements to simple timepieces of the late Victorian era.

The book is regarded as a standard work that deals exclusively with skeleton clocks. It documents the diversity of these precision and ornamental clocks using numerous examples collected from around the world.
