Skyhorse Practical Watch Repairing

The content is over 50 years old and the graphics/sketches are very poor quality/resolution

The book is listed as “ from 2008” . That is not the case. This is a facsimile (scanned) reprint of a 1949-1969 book. And that is for watch repairing old. Some principles are the same, but things have progressed. But not in the book. And the facsimile (scanned) version is also no fun to read.

Started watch repair as a hobby. found this book very enlightening and helpfu

Good reading

Excellent book

This is a very detailed book on mechanical watch repairing, begining from how to set up your shop, the kind of tools you will need from start up and how to check if the tools are in good shape, and going through every part of a mechanical watch movement. It's as generic as possible because there are a number of different movements in the marked but you get to understand the concepts, which will allow you to identify those parts in any movement you are working with. If you are looking to understand mechanical movements without the idea to become a watch repairer, but serving different purposes, this book is also a very good start.
