Woth every penny if only for the superlative illustrations......
There are many, myself included, that will never attempt and or undertake many of the tasks detailed in this book. But please, don't let that put off purchasing it. If you have an intrest in Horology this book will show you how things were done back in the day and, are still in practice, by some, today. There is a treasure trove of knowledge in this book that any budding horologist be he hobbyist, amateur, and or professional will gain much insight from. The tip on clearing a clogged screw plate (page122) so obvious now with book in hand. Though I don't think I'll be whipping up a brew of 'week' sulfuric acid anytime soon! The Watch Repairer's Manual: Second Edition by the same author is another gem, as is Practical Watch Repairing by Donald De Carle. Once again, superlative illustrations to enjoy.

This book is NOT for a watchmaker! It is for industrial watchmaking, with special designed machines, lathes, factory production etc., therefore the book is about all industrial machines and industrial tools, not for a watchmaker in his workshop. And the title is very misleading. Not to mention that is a reprint of an old book, so I'm pretty sure that most of the machines and tools described there are to be found in museums, rather than in a modern watch factory.

This is full off the best information from the best teacher of his time. Its one thing to know everything, but it's a completely different talent to write it and explain it so it can be easily understood. Written by a legend amongst his peers. A must have reference that isn't padded out into an encyclopedia.
