Author Description
My first book on the subject of watchmaking & I've had it since 1981. This book is great if you have any interest in watchmaking or clockmaking. Britten describes an array of old techniques & tools that is just amazing to leaf through & read. He has the old configurations for the treadle lathes & bow powered tools. We may need this information in the future, you never know too much. He list Hall marks, crystal gauges, descriptions of mechanisms & movements, & tools that are just awesome. I can only say that if you collect Horological tools you should have this book or at least be aware that it exist it will boggle your mind. Every page is just fascinating. Printed in 1881 1st ed.
