The Practical Watch Escapement by George Daniels

One of George Daniels' central contributions to horology is his co-axial escapement. This book explains the action of the escapement in terms accessible to both expert and layman.
George Daniels, CBE, DSC (HONS), FSA, FCGI, FBHI, FAWI was a practicing horologist with over fifty years experience in both antiquarian and modern watchmaking, and a pastmaster of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. Amongst his awards for contribution to the art and science of watchmaking - including the design of his own escapements - are the Tompion Gold Medal, The British Horological Institute Gold Medal, The City and Guilds of London Gold Medal, The Arts Sciences and Learning Award of the City of London and the Victor Kullberg Medal of the Stockholm Watchmakers' Guild.
