Don’t be fooled by the copyright date, this book was originally written in the mid 60’s.\u00a0 That being said, it is probably the best written book on mechanical watch repair.\u00a0 It was written with starting your own watch repair business in mind, but that’s ok.\u00a0 He goes through every tool you will ever need and even how to make parts from scratch!\u00a0 This may be shocking to owners of throw away watches, but a mechanical watch can ALWAYS be repaired. (The only limiting factor is cost.)\u00a0 This book is written well, but if you are not fascinated by watches, it will bore you to tears.\u00a0 If you are a watch lover, it is a great way to learn a lot about how watches work.\u00a0 Hey, someday when passing through a flea market, you may even pick up a beaten watch to repair, this book will show you how.\u00a0 It is extensively illustrated with line drawings.\u00a0 An illiterate person can learn how to repair a watch, that is how many illustrations there are!\u00a0 There are tons of tips and tricks.\u00a0 I wonder how many watchmakers started out reading this book?<\/p>\n
