La grande horloge is a French-language study of the Comtoise clock, the longcase clock tradition associated with the Franche-Comté region. The work examines these clocks as objects of regional craft, household timekeeping, and nineteenth-century material culture. It traces their design, construction, and use while placing them in the social and economic setting of rural and small-town France. The book is intended for readers interested in horology, decorative arts, and local history, and it treats the Comtoise clock as an artifact shaped by skilled makers and everyday domestic life. The edition listed here is a hardcover volume of 271 pages published by Éditions de l'Amateur.
