Hands on

Article Abstract:

The electronic quartz watch offers reliable and inexpensive time-keeping. However, many people still prefer to use a watch that requires some participation from them. There is strong interest in the watches of George Daniels, widely regarded as the greatest living watch maker, and in hand-made sculptural clocks such as those made by Martin Burgess and Andrew King. Collectors do not mind that hand-crafted clocks and watches will never be as accurate as an atomic clock.
