Bruno Cabanis, a photographer with a passion for craftsmanship, offers readers a glimpse into the world of French watchmaking artisans, from creation to manufacture and restoration.
Nothing is left untouched, because the aim is to give an account of a chain of skills specific to the highly skilled precision art of watchmaking.
Bruno Cabanis has succeeded in capturing the workings of these craftsmen of the past, highlighting the work of some twenty different trades in over 800 photographs.
Watchmakers, bronze turners, bronzemakers and cabinetmakers all took part in the game, giving us a masterly yet didactic insight into the workings of their craft.
Horlogerie Française, les artisans du temps, will delight all watchmaking and craftsmanship enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals alike.
A magnificently documented book not to be missed.
