書評

This hardcover book with 200 color pages and great illustrations retraces the history of the first automaton clocks at the time of the Renaissance.
The gallery J. Kugel, based in Paris, is directed by Nicolas and Alexis Kugel, fifth generation of a family of antique dealers from Russia, who moved to Paris in 1924.
This book presents 31 automaton clocks, all as rare as exceptional.
