Review: A must-read for aspiring horologists like me! - As an aspiring horologist, Watchmaking by George Daniels has been an invaluable resource in my journey. Daniels' meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of the craft shine through every page. He breaks down the complexities of watchmaking in a way that feels both accessible and inspiring, even for someone like me who's still learning. What I truly appreciate is how thorough and methodical he is, from the intricate diagrams to the step-by-step guides on creating every single component by hand. It’s not just a book about how to build a watch; it’s about mastering the art and patience required to craft something extraordinary. His passion for traditional techniques is palpable and has motivated me to approach my own work with a greater level of care and precision. While it’s definitely not a light read and can be quite technical at times, for anyone serious about horology, this book is a treasure. It’s not just a guide, it’s a blueprint for achieving excellence in the field. An absolute must-read if you dream of becoming a master watchmaker! And as a plus, it looks great on my coffee table Review: Excellent, detailed, advanced. - A great book if you are interested in watchmaking - the real kind where you are literally making a watch (from scratch). There are other books which are excellent for repair, but this book takes it a step further. Well written, it is both an easy read and full of information, pictures, etc. I haven't made it very far yet, but what I have read is excellent. Starts with the basics (placement of benches, how to set up a workshop, placement and types of lights, etc) then continues to lathe types, etc. An excellent resource for someone who wants to do more than just fix watches. While it is written in a way that basically anyone with a foundation in highschool math can understand it, it is really intended for people in the industry who are serious about making parts from scratch. Having said that, the illustrations alone would make it a nice book for a doctor's office. Well worth the investment if watches are your thing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 61,570 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 63 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching 103 in Engineering & Technology Education 155 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (737) | | Dimensions | 20.32 x 3.05 x 27.31 cm | | Edition | New edition | | ISBN-10 | 0856677043 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0856677045 | | Item weight | 1.64 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 464 pages | | Publication date | 3 May 2011 | | Publisher | Philip Wilson Publishers Ltd | ## Images ![Watchmaking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u7Wpe3clL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-read for aspiring horologists like me! *by E***E on 5 October 2024* As an aspiring horologist, Watchmaking by George Daniels has been an invaluable resource in my journey.

The whole description inside the book of how to make a mechanical watch from 0 to Hero. The Grand Master Timekeeper George Daniels is doing his best, so that each person when it reads the book content, will understand it as its supposed to be. One of the best valued books, life stories and knowledge inside regarding the watches on the market.
