Descrição do livro

First published in 1887, Watch and Chronometer Jeweling by N. B. Sherwood is a comprehensive guide to the art of jeweling for the watch and chronometer maker. While the substitution of gemstones for metal bearings greatly improved the accuracy of timepieces, properly shaping, drilling, and polishing those “jewels” required specialized skills. This book covers every step of the process in detail, from selecting and preparing the rough gemstones to cutting the delicate pivot holes and giving the final high polish. Sherwood explains not just the techniques, but the reasoning behind them, while interweaving fascinating historical notes on the pioneers of jeweling. With detailed engravings demonstrating the tools and methods described, Watch and Chronometer Jeweling is an indispensable aid for any watchmaker seeking mastery of this intricate craft.
