About this product
Product Information
Twenty-eight years after its first publication, the best-selling Watchmaking continues to inspire and encourage the art of watchmaking, especially among new generations of enthusiasts. As a supreme master of his art, George Daniels' advice is constantly sought by both students and watch repairers, his understanding of the problems that can beset the would-be watchmaker, especially in an age of mass production, and his expert knowledge of the history of watchmaking being second to none. Here, the making of the precision timekeeper is described step-by-step and illustrated at each stage with line drawings and brief explanatory captions. The text is easy to follow and care has been taken to avoid complicated technical descriptions. As Daniels is particularly interested in the development of the escapement - many are described in this book, several of his own design - the reader is encouraged to explore this aspect of watchmaking in even greater detail. This classic handbook still remains indispensable to generations of watchmakers and repairers, and also provides a fascinating insight to the enthusiast and watch-collector who, until its publication, had rarely been able to admire the superb craftsmanship of a fine watch without understanding how it works.Product Identifiers

Wonderful book if you love to know how things tick
Its not often I come across a book which covers such a greatly technical field in amazing detail and with such clarity but this is definitely right up there with my other favourite - Haywoods Internal combustion engine fundamentals. Top notch read if you enjoy engineering, machining and understanding the mind of a man who was a proper artist at what he did. Worth twice the money.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
