This vintage book contains a guide to making and repairing all manner of now-antique watches, with information on different styles, manufacturing techniques, components, and much more. This dual French-English language handbook will be of utility to those engaged in the sale or maintenance of antique watches, as well as their history and evolution. Contents include: “A Swiss Factory”, “The Watch-Case”, “Making of the Case”, “Shapes of Cases”, “Styles of Cases”, “Decoration of Cases”, “Sizes of Cases”, “The Movement”, “Making of the Movement”, “Styles and Kinds of Watches”, “A Glance at the Barrel, the Balance Wheel and the Various kinds of Escapements”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
