The many craftsmen who are already familiar with Mr de Carle's earlier work, Practical Watch Repairing, will note a great similarity in the attitude of mind behind both books, and, indeed, this latest volume is, to some extent, a companion and a follow-on from the previous book, for it carries the reader into what is, undoubtedly, the most exacting and skillful aspect of all work on watches."Horological ReviewCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Width: 17mmGenre: Technology & EngineeringTopic: Architecture & AntiquesRelease Year: 1999 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
