Preserving the Art and Craft of Timekeeping
This handbook explains how watches are built, how they keep time, and how to care for them. It covers the rise of watchmaking, major escapements, and the roles of English, Swiss, French, and American makers in shaping portable timepieces. It also explains practical topics like how to recognize genuine parts, why some watches are more reliable in certain conditions, and how to diagnose common faults.
- How a watch derives power from a main spring and drives a balance to measure equal time.
- Different escapements, why they matter, and how flat Lepine-style designs differ from others.
- Special watches, including centre-seconds designs, independent seconds, and repeating or musical pieces.
- Everyday care, repair ideas, and guidance on selecting a reliable watchmaker or dealer.
