Book Review: Maybe I expected more
Summary: 2 Stars
Myabe I am too much of an amateur, because a lot of this book just goes over my head. That said, it seems to contain a lot of information, but I'm not just sure for who.
Summary of Practical Watch Repairing
Horology expert Donald de Carle reveals how to repair and adjust the modern watch.The absorbing and everlasting subject of watch repairing has been dealt with in books in many languages throughout the years. But when de Carle first set out to write Practical Watch Repairing in 1946, it was with the intention of creating a textbook "that a watchmaker can understand, even if he can't read." With over 550 instructional black-and-white illustrations and an approach that assumes no prior watch-repairing experience, this book achieves and surpasses that lofty mission, and has been touted as "the best illustrated book on practical horology" (Horological Journal) ever written. For the readers in his audience, de Carle has provided well-informed discourse on every topic a watchmaker, or aspiring watchmaker, needs to know. With Practical Watch Repairing, even a layman can become a watch-repair specialist.
553 b/w illustrations.
