Notes: Monograph on the discovery of a 18th century (1778)document at the Academie des Sciences in Paris, describing a selfwinding watch by Belgian clock and watchmaker Sarton and the subesequent discovery of a watch matching the description, and the 2009 discovery of a drawing of the geartrain of this watch. The author states that this proves that the autowinding mechanism with a rotor was discovered by Sarton around 1778, and not how much of the literature claims (usually quoting a 1950s text bx Chapuis) by Perrelet in the 19th century. The book was printed before the latest discovery but an addendum sheet on the new discoveries has been inserted into most copies sold. Illustrated in color. Bibliography
