Product Description
Dealing with a complicated watch used to be a rare job for the watch repairer, but with the popularity of the automatic, it is almost commonplace. Furthermore, the increased interest in calendar work, alarm watches, and chronographs will undoubtedly bring more and more complicated work into the workshop. This book deals with complicated work essentially from the repairer's point of view. The action of each mechanism is briefly and clearly described, dismantling and assembly instructions are given, as well as oiling charts and hints on fault-finding and their rectification.

A complement to Practical Watch Repairing
 
Review Date: July 22, 2008
Reviewer: flavio pimenta, Distrito Federal, Brasil
I don't agree with the last review. This book has to be viewed as a complement, a second volume, to Practical Watch Repairing of the same author. You have to read the first book to fully understand it. If you look at this book as a second volume of the classic Practical Watch Repairing, it deserves 4 stars. It does not cover new automatic movements from the 70s and 80s, but every automatic system used by the industry is documented. Well, if you can repair an ETA or Omega from the 50s or 60s, you can repair a movement from the 80s and 90s. That's my point of view.
Great horological book

Reviewer: Thiago Braido, Sao Jose dos campos, SP, Brazil
This book cover the maintence of several automatic movements, chronographs, split seconds and repeaters. Unfortunately it dont't cover the tourbillon. Whereas the book was written in 1956, there are no mention for the Valjoux 7750 movement series nor the new complicated movements such as the IWC Da Vinci caliber with perpetual calendar.

Reviewer: J. Kim, USA
Not a very up to date book on watch repair. There are also very few pictures/diagrams available. For those wanting to buy a book about watch repair at a beginners level, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.
