Watches International Vol VIII
The book was written in 1979 and reads like someone having a conversation with you about all the experiences they had while repairing clocks and watches.
There is a lot of tips and tricks to help understand what you may find while repairing, though, theses are intermingled with the conversational tone of the book, so you will need to read the text rather than finding a step-by-step guide to exact steps to take.
The book is divided into clear sections of the different parts of mechanical timepieces and is suitable for even a beginner to gain a vast amount of knowledge on both the history of manufacturing as well as the tools, techniques, and workarounds for getting a clock to work.
Since 1979, technologies have changed dramatically, but if you have an old timepiece, this book will clearly help you get into the inner workings and diagnose any problem as well as clean it or know more of it's workings.
I gave it 3 stars instead of more, because, you would need to scour the book to find particular techniques which are sometimes hidden within the conversational tone. It is very enjoyable to read and gives you the feel of what working on a bench with Mr. Whitten would be like.
