With the Watchmaker at the Bench

In With the Watchmaker at the Bench, author Donald de Carle, a medalist and fellow of the British Horological Institute, opens with the following statement: “I shall attempt to sit at the bench with [the reader] … to give him, so far as I am able, the advantage of the apprenticeship as it should be given.”

The book is perfect for the watchmaking beginner: de Carle lays out all the steps in watch repair in simple, easy-to-understand language. Accompanied by more than 100+ high quality illustrations, this book is one of de Carle’s countless contributions to the art of horology.
