Nothing is better than finding the clockmaker or watchmaker name you're looking for, and this book is the best way to do it. It's more of a surprise when you don't find the name you need. Saw this reviewed in the NAWCC Bulletin; membership in this organization is vital, too!

3.0 out of 5 stars watchmakers, comp 21stC guide., May 31, 2009

By	Trevor D. Crawford (Croydon North. Vic AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World: Complete 21st Century Edition (Hardcover)

This book has long been a valuable research tool for amateur and pro horlogists alike. I fall into the first category and therefore need all the help I can get. I think this book is fantastic. It has already helped me identify dudds and bargains. It was not a cheap book but with time it will more than pay for itself.

Very satisfied customer,
