Lenzkirch Clock Book (New) Published 08/2001

Limited edition book, There are not many left.

The book is titled: 1851-(150 Jahre)-2001 Lenzkircher Uhren Aus der Geschichte einer bemerkenswerten Uhrmacherzeit

There was a big Clock Exhibition commemorating the 150 year anniversary of the Lenzkirch Clock factory a month before my last trip to the little town of Lenzkirch Germany. I discovered I had missed the exhibit, but I did find a shop that had some of the books that were published about this great show. Naturally, since this is a book I've never seen here in the USA, (it was published 08/2001), I bought all the copies he had. This is a great book and a tremendous resource for the Lenzkirch collector or lover and now you don't have to try to find one in Germany.

This new, (still shrink wrapped) 190 page, hard-cover book comes out of that exhibition and describes in detail many of those clocks. There are over 250 color (and dozens of b/w) photos of all types of Lenzkirch Clocks, of all periods, of all styles, most of the pictures accompanied by descriptions, anecdotes, serial numbers, and dates (and detailed closeups). Some clocks are displayed full page, some less, there's also many examples of movements and how they look. There's even a dating chart based on serial numbers and a history of the Lenzkirch company and it's products.

One possible downside (at least to Americans), is that the book is entirely in the German language. For those of you that speak German, you'll be all set. The rest of us, will have to look at the pictures and guess what is really being said. Fortunately, with the wonderful pictures, the descriptions are such that I have been able to get enough information to satisfy my curiosity.

Regarding the pictures to the left, I have a older scanner, so my pictures on the left are not nearly as good as those in the book, they are just representative of them. I will make this promise, if you're not happy with the book after looking through it, just return it for a full refund of the purchase price.

One other note: While I was in Lenzkirch, I was able to visit the local collector who owned over half the clocks in this exhibition, and he graciously allowed me to take over 150 (3.1mp) digital photos of most of his collection. I will be compiling these onto a cd collection and offering it on ebay at a later date, so watch this space (if you're interested)!!
