Book Reviews of Practical Watch Adjusting
Book Review: "Practical Watch Adjusting" by D. de Carle
Summary: 5 Stars
As usual the former Mr. Donald de Carle had written another superb book on the formerly "dead" art of mechanical watch making. Now mechanical watches are more popular than before, and there is a distinct _lack_ of qualified persons capable of repairing or cleaning, lubeing and adjusting them. A lot of so-called "professionals" are anything but that as I have learned from firsthand experience (at rather steep "repair" rates to add insult to injury!). This book is highly recommended for those who's interest in horology is deeper than just looking at pictures of 18K. Rolexes.
Summary of Practical Watch Adjusting
Almost a companion to Donald de Carle's earlier work, Practical Watch Repairing, this book's contents include general condition of the movement; cleaning and oiling; balance pivots; fitting a flat balance spring; fitting a breguet balance spring; positional timing; further considerations when fitting a spring and observing the point of attachment; general notes on springing and timing; other methods of positional adjustment; and timing machines.
