Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. Book. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. Antique Collector's Club. Near Fine hardcover in a Near Fine dust jacket.420pp including index. 1999 revised edition. The author's principal aim in writing this book has been to inspire and encourage the art of watchmaking, especially among a new generation of enthusiasts. As a supreme master of this art, his advice is constantly sought both by students and watch repairers. His understanding of the problems that can beset the would-be watchmaker, especially in an age of mass production, his expert knowledge of the history of watchmaking, together with his concern for the continuation of the art, have convinced him of the need for a comprehensive study of the subject. One of the most interesting aspects of George Daniel's work, which this book describes, is that he makes every component of the watch himself. In addition to explaining the techniques required, many of which he has evolved himself, Daniels describes the tools that will be necessary for working, both by hand and machine, and also defines the ideal workshop and its contents. The making of the precision timekeeper is described, step by step, and is illustrated at each stage with line drawings and brief explanatory captions. The text is easy to follow and care has been taken to avoid complicated technical descriptions.
This is a fantastic book for anyone interested in watchmaking. It chronicles the accomplishments of George Daniels over his life of making 1-off masterpieces to tell time. Great writing and wonderful pictures.
