2604 - Watchmaking

DANIELS George

After a long time out of print, this well-known book is again available! The author’s principal aim in writing this book has been to inspire and encourage the art of watchmaking, especially among a new generation of enthusiasts. The making of the precision timekeeper is described, step by step, and is 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. Indeed, the author is confident that total beginners will feel encouraged to take up the art of watchmaking. As he himself 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 even further. Highly illustrated with both colour illustrations and black and white line drawings.
