Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating life and work of Simon Willard, a celebrated clockmaker and inventor who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It traces his journey from his humble beginnings in Grafton, Massachusetts, where he apprenticed under a local craftsman, to his establishment as a leading clockmaker in Roxbury. The author meticulously examines Willard's various innovations, including the revolutionary "Timepiece," a smaller and more practical wall clock that ultimately replaced the bulky shelf clocks of the era. The book explores the social and economic context of Willard's success, highlighting his ability to adapt his craft to changing times and consumer demands. Beyond the technical aspects of clockmaking, the book also offers a glimpse into Willard's personal life, relationships, and encounters with prominent figures like Thomas Jefferson and Josiah Quincy. Through its detailed accounts and rich historical context, this book provides a compelling portrait of a skilled artisan and his significant contributions to the world of horology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
