Publisher's Note
Dealing with a complicated watch used to be a rare job for the watch repairer, but with the popularity of the automatic, it is almost commonplace. Furthermore, the increased interest in calendar work, alarm watches, and chronographs will undoubtedly bring more and more complicated work into the workshop. This book deals with complicated work essentially from the repairer's point of view. The action of each mechanism is briefly and clearly described, dismantling and assembly instructions are given, as well as oiling charts and hints on fault-finding and their rectification.

) I've become more interested in mechanical watches of late, and had gone so far as to sign up for an online course to learn how to assemble and disassemble my own watch. I purchased the Decarle book along with his other book on uncomplicated watches.
I found the book to be very helpful in giving basic background to watchmaking as a craft in general. It seems a little dated -- however, the basic mechanics of today's watches are generally consistent with those made as many as 50 years ago (if not longer), so it was fine. I don't think the book will turn you into an instant watchmaker, but for someone like me, who likes to tinker a little, it was a good book to help deepen my appreciation for the hobby.
