The Pocket Watch Handbook (Paperback, New edition)

Old pocket watches are endlessly fascinating and collectable. This book traces the history and development of the watch, concentrating largely on the successful designs produced during the period 1750-1900. These pieces were made in large numbers and are thus relatively easy to find, handle and own. With the aid of over 80 drawings and photographs, author Maxwell Cutmore shows how the different movements work, and discusses the many efforts to improve timekeeping over the years.

For collectors, this book provides a wealth of useful advice on repairing, buying and selling watches, plus guidelines for conducting simple research. They'll find plenty of hints on what to look for and pitfalls to avoid, ensuring that modest resources are wisely spent for hours of interest and enjoyment.
