Hi

I'm not an watchmaker and I don't think I'll ever be but I want to study a little some technical details regarding the mechanisms from simple to complex..I know that Internet it's full of documentation but I want some books..please anyone if can guide me..what do you think it's best to read? From beginner to advanced..

Thank you.

I think most people buy and love mechanical watches buy them but they don't know really how they works..I'm one of them..

 

If you are looking for a book that explains how things work, rather than how to repair or service, then The Theory of Horology is the book for that.

Again it's not a book that shows you how to service anything, but simply goes through the various areas of a watch and shows how things work and relate to each other. It's a textbook used in many watchmaking schools - I still have mine. Warning...there is math involved if you really wan to get into things in depth.

 

Yes I'll look for how it works..not to repair or service. I think math will not be a problem for me..thank you for your advice. I'll look for the book.
