The Theory of Horology is considered the “bible” by horologists—from the novice to the well-seasoned watchmaker and clockmaker. In addition to a brief history of timekeeping, it covers the theory, concepts and practical aspects of mechanical watches and clocks. While not a how-to-repair guide, its descriptions and detailed line drawings are effective and instructional. An eight-page section with exercises (and answers) is a helpful bonus.
