Editorial Reviews

Review

Early Canadian Timekeepers is essential reading, a comprehensive work for anyone interested in early Canadian clocks and clockmakers. Jane Varkaris and James Connel are two of Canada's foremost horological experts. They take an authoritative look at pre-1900 clocks and the men who made them, either commercially or as one-of-a-kind timepieces. Exceptional clocks are featured in their own essays. Lavishly illustrated with 300 b/w photos, Early Canadian Timekeepers is the most up-to-date, definitive book on early Canadian clocks and clockmakers. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know about CANADIAN CLOCKS, January 29, 2000

This review is from: Early Canadian Timekeepers (Collectables) (Hardcover)

Jane Varkaris undoutedky is THE worlds leading expert on the rather specialised subject of CLOCKS made in Canada. Her book fills a huge void in most horological libraries, there simply was nothing published on the subject.

The book offers the only comprehensive history existing of the Pequegnat clock manufacturing company.

A MUST for the collector of CANADIAN CLOCKS.
