Recommended reading?
This year I have read A Grand Complication (book about the Henry Graves Supercomplication) and I am currently reading Longitude about finding Longitude and John Harrison. Does anyone have any other recommended books on the history of clocks and watches?

I'd second Longitude
A great history read: explained the importance of the technology clearly, but also had the human side of the personalities and times.
Not sure I've read any others :-)
It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

Don't know about read but this timeframe worth a look imo

The Dude Abides
Revolution in Time: Clocks and the Making of the Modern World by David S. Landes
An in-depth look at the evolution of timekeeping, detailing technological advances. Very good historical framework for any collector.
