One of the books to have on Watch Repair - A beginners opinion ....
The fact that it was first printed along time ago adds to the quality of the information as watch repair is a practical subject and the book is written in a very practical style with lots of illustrations. The tools and cleaning stuff suggested are often hand made with ideas on how to do it. I am sure modern equivalents are available but I like the do it yourself approach.
I also like the book because it does not spend time on the history of watches and clocks but goes directly to what is required to start repairing them. This is what I wanted, I have enough books on the history. I wanted a book that would explain what was required to repair a watch and to give a good intro into how the watch worked.
Although first printed in 1946 (I understand) its pretty readable and has a nice flow and talks about dirty finger nails that have enough dirt to stop 12 watches. Made me now consider the environment in which I open up the case of a watch.
All in all I would not be writing this review (first time I have bothered) except as I am very happy with the information and have learnt a lot from this book.
Good value for money in my option.
But please note although I collect vintage watches and presently have more than twenty I am a beginner at watch repair.
