Complicated Watches and Their Repair deals with all complicated work from the relatively simple automatic to the triple-complicated watch with chronograph, calendar and repeater work, and the very complicated clock watch. The action of each mechanism is briefly and clearly described. Dismantling and assembly instructions are given, oiling charts and, most important, hints on fault finding and their rectification.
Exceptional care has been taken in the preparation of diagrams, which have been drawn from actual movements in various stages of assembly, so that the reader can actually work with the book illustrations beside the watch. As always with books by Donald de Carle, instructions are easy to follow and there is no reason why anyone well versed in ordinary work and able to use watchmakers' tools should not become a specialist in Complicated Watches and Their Repair .
Eight sections cover automatic watches, chronographs, times, 24-hour dials, alarm watches calendar watches and independent jumping second watches.
