DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs with any specialized field, pocket watch collecting has its own terminology, and it is not always easy for the novice collector to understand what the "experts" are talking about. What does it mean to say that a watch has "jewels" or that it is "adjusted"? What is a "hunter case" watch? What's the difference between a railroad "grade" watch and a railroad "approved" watch? What is a "lever set" watch? Isn't "rolled gold" a brand of pretzel? Etc., etc., etc.This booklet is full of all the things I wish somebody had told me when I first started collecting, and which I have shared with many new collectors over the years. Keep in mind that I have tried to keep things as simple and basic as possible for quick and easy comprehension, which necessarily means that this is not a scholarly treatise. But hopefully this will give you enough information to get you started and also give you a clue what those "other" books are talking about.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHere is a unique book. It describes the theories and processes of repairing and adjusting the modern watch in precise and meticulous detail: a thing which has never been done so completely before in the many books on the same subject. As a text book it is a revelation. Taking nothing for granted, except the ability to read and comprehend a simple description of mechanical processes, de Carle takes his reader through every stage and every operation of watch repairing ...and to deal with them thoroughly is quite a programme - it takes 300 pages containing 24 chapters, two appendices and 553 illustrations. The fine draughtsmanship and accurate technical detail of the illustrations set a new standard. Practical Watch Repairing can justifiably claim to be the best illustrated book on practical horology yet issued, and one of the best of its kind on any subject. The publication of the book marks the beginning of a new epoch in the study of the mechanics of horology.
