The Time Museum Catalog by Anthony Turner: Volume 1, Part 1 Astrolabes, and Part 3 Water-Clocks, Sand-Glasses and Fire Clocks have been published, are out of print, and are available from used book dealers. Part 3 has the best English-language survey of water clocks (about 70 pages) that I have found; it has an extensive bibliography of supporting literature. I do not know about Part 2. I suspect that further volumes will not be published now that the museum is closed. There are also Time Museum volumes published on pocket watches and chronometers.

I do own a copy of the marvelous "Western Astrolabes" book published by the Time Museum. I wonder whether other books of the series have been published or prepared (and if they will be published eventually?), e.g. the one planned since years about sundials? The plan supposedly was to publish a whole series as a museum catalogue. Any info appreciated! Best regards, Thierry vs 50.5N 4.3E
