Hands of Time, a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, is a unique and innovative history of watchmaking as seen through the eyes of a practicing 21st century watchmaker. We were lucky enough to be given an advance copy of the book earlier this year and were gripped from the outset - Rebecca's tone is thoroughly engaging as she seamlessly mixes the history of horology with her own experience and expertise as a watchmaker. Well researched and packed full of detail you'll find yourself racing through a history of timekeeping that is punctuated by clever anecdotes and the realities of life as a watchmaker in the 21st century. A selection of historical watches have been specially photographed for the book and there are a range of illustrations by Rebecca's husband, Craig, who is also a watchmaker.
