John A. Nelson
Stackpole Books, 2004

Complicated Watches and Their Repair3 reviews
Donald de Carle
Robert Hale, 1995
A complement to Practical Watch Repairing
+ Great horological book
I don't agree with the last review. This book has to be viewed as a complement, a second volume, to Practical Watch Repairing of the same author. You have to read the first book to fully understand it. If you look at this book as a second volume of the classic Practical Watch Repairing, it deserves ...
