EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'English Watches,' was published in the book "British Clocks and Clockmakers" by Kenneth Ullyett in 1947. The image, captured in color during the 1940s, showcases a stunning collection of English pocket watches displayed on a decorative cloth. The watches, representing various designs and timekeeping technologies from the past, are arranged meticulously, each one a testament to the rich history of horology in Britain. The print, published by Collins, offers a glimpse into the social history of the time, providing a window into the past when pocket watches were an essential accessory for both men and women. The watches, adorned with intricate decorations and engravings, reflect the craftsmanship and attention to detail that were hallmarks of English clock and watchmaking. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of timekeeping in the 20th century, a time when the world was rapidly changing. The watches in the image, with their traditional designs and classic charm, stand in stark contrast to the modern timepieces we use today. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their work, as featured in Ullyett's book, continues to inspire and intrigue collectors and historians alike. The 'English Watches' print is a beautiful addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of horology in Britain.
