This book by Simon Garfield is about our attempts to time and our attempts to measure it, control it, sell it, film it, perform it, immortalise it, re-invent it, and make it meaningful. As managing time becomes one of the greatest modern day challenges this multi-layered history helps us understand it in new light. For those of you interested in watches there is are two chapters on horology including "How to make a watch" where the author relates a day spent at the headquarters of IWC and the story of how the Swiss mechanical watch industry overcame the challenges of the introduction of quartz watches.
