Great Mechanical Watch Repair Text November 24, 2005
21 out of 21 found this review helpful

This book was originally published in 1946, and it's still in print because it's the best. The text is straight forward, clear and easy to understand. The illustrations are very helpful, maybe even excessive, but to someone who knew nothing about the subject before starting the book, that's not so bad. The newer editions have a small section on quartz repair, but due to the advances in electronics, it is dated. The theory is helpful, but those seeking to learn quartz repair only probably need another book. All in all, it is a great book highly recommended to anyone who would like to learn watch repair.

Fabulous. The detail is great - perhaps too much, BUT on the second reading he brings the craft alive.

Full marks - love this book. A few colour photos may be in order. BUT GREAT BOOK

I bought three watch books. This is this is the one that did what I wanted. Very easy to follow book. It makes you want to take apart a watch right away.

A must read for apprentice and watchmaker October 11, 2001
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

This book has been quoted, paraphrased, used in part or in whole by watchmakers of all levels. Decarle originally put articles and illustrations found in his book in one of the major horological journals. A number of watch courses use these in part or in whole. As a watchmaker's apprentice, I have found this book very useful for understanding the workings of watches.
