Twenty-eight years after its first publication, the best-selling
Watchmaking continues to inspire and encourage the art of
watchmaking, especially among new generations of enthusiasts. As a
supreme master of his art, George Daniels' advice is constantly
sought by both students and watch repairers, his understanding of
the problems that can beset the would-be watchmaker, especially in
an age of mass production, and his expert knowledge of the history
of watchmaking being second to none. Here, the making of the
precision timekeeper is described step-by-step and illustrated at
each stage with line drawings and brief explanatory captions. The
text is easy to follow and care has been taken to avoid complicated
technical descriptions. As Daniels is particularly interested in
the development of the escapement - many are described in this
book, several of his own design - the reader is encouraged to
explore this aspect of watchmaking in even greater detail. This
classic handbook still remains indispensable to generations of
watchmakers and repairers, and also provides a fascinating insight
to the enthusiast and watch-collector who, until its publication,
had rarely been able to admire the superb craftsmanship of a fine
watch without understanding how it works.
