Title: The Swiss watch repairer's manual
Subtitle: mechanical watches
Description: Paraphrased from the book - ‘The primary object of this book is to present and explain in a logical order the modern methods and equipment of watch repair. They are described with reference to their current application in normal watch repair.

The reader can follow the progress of repair work, taken in its logical order—from examination during dismantling, right through to reassembly and adjustment. In each of these various sections you will find mention of special purpose tools which may simplify the work and allow you to finish the job more rapidly.

The young watchmakers of the present day should also adept themselves, right from the beginning, to rational methods of working. This book, therefore, has a second purpose: to serve as an instruction manual on watch repair. For this reason elementary matter has been included, and mention has been made of all types of repair problems, so that the beginner can readily refer to them.”
