of Mechanical and Automation Engineering. Currently, he is a professor in the Dept. He has taught in the North America for ten years before joining the Chinese University of Hong Kong. degree from the University of Michigan in 1989. He received his Master's degree from the South China University of Technology in 1983 and his Ph.D. Assistant Professor Longhan Xie works at the South China University of Technology, China. Professor Ruxu Du works at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China. It will also inspire people in other fields of science and technology, such as mechanical engineering and electronics engineering, to advance their designs. It will be of significant interest to researchers in mechanical engineering, watchmakers and clockmakers, as well as people who have an engineering background and are interested in mechanical watches and clocks. The illustrations and computer animations are unique and have never been published before. However few have examined the theory of how they work as presented in this book.
