Specialist Notes

One of the most famous and useful horological encyclopedias, first published in 1907, filled with classic information on tools, repairs, terms, and definitions. Britten's book is the only place to find valuable information on the techniques and technology of horology from the early twentieth century and before. The Watch and Clock Makers' Handbook, Dictionary, and Guide is an important resource for hobbyists, artists, antique dealers, history buffs, students, and both amateur and professional watchmakers.
