With over 550 black-and-white illustrations and an approach that assumes no prior watch-repairing experience, Donald de Carle’s classic book is essential for any beginner or experienced horologist. It’s been called “the best illustrated book on practical horology ever written”—Horological Journal
The absorbing and everlasting subject of watch repairing has been dealt with in books in many languages throughout the years. But when Practical Watch Repairing was first published in the middle of the twentieth century, he intended to create a book “that a watchmaker can understand, even if he can’t read.” For the readers in his audience, de Carle has provided well-informed discourse on every topic a watchmaker, or aspiring watchmaker, needs to know. He covers:
Workshop and WorkbenchEssential ToolsCase, Dial, and HandsBarrel and MainspringHand Cleaning and OilingSpringing and TimingFriction JewellingAnd much more!
With Practical Watch Repairing, even a layman can become a watch-repair specialist.

Customers say
Customers find the book very useful and good for watch repair. They also say the content is dated and may be too advanced for beginners. Opinions are mixed on readability, with some finding the verbiage couched in old fashioned style and happy with the printing quality, while others say it’s more technical than expected and does not include information on quartz or battery powered watches. Readers also disagree on the illustrations, with others saying they’re used well and help to broaden one’s perspective, while other say they’d rather have step-by-step instructions.
