Os Relógios do Banco de Portugal

José Mota Tavares

The collection of clocks of  Banco de Portugal:

With this book, the Bank discloses to the public a selection of its clocks, presented according to a functional classification. 

This selection – divided into tower clocks, long-case clocks, table clocks, hanging clocks and utility watches  –, was based on the types of parts, their rarity and singularity, their esthetical characteristics and chiefly their functionality and framing within the daily activities of Banco de Portugal.
