Enamel Watch Dials: A Celebration of English Work – David Penney

David Penney’s Enamel Watch Dials: A Celebration of English Work explores the evolution and artistry of English-made enamel dials from George Graham’s introduction of ‘white dials’ in 1725, until 1930. The booklet delves into the design variations that allow enthusiasts to date dials accurately, from one-piece and sunk designs to multi-drilled examples. Featuring the work of notable makers such as Willis, Mathews, Weston, Marnham, and Clarke, Penney brings to light new and previously unpublished information, enriching our understanding of these intricate creations. The booklet features exceptional photography throughout.
