LeCoultre's A Guide to Complicated Watches is considered by many to the best work available on complications. It addresses striking mechanisms, astronomical work, chronographs, jumping seconds, quarter repeaters, perpetual calendars, equation work, and more. The direct writing style and excellent illustrations provide the novice reader with a good understanding of the topics at hand. The more experienced craftsman will refer to it frequently. The author, Francois LeCoultre, was a professor at the Geneva School of Watchmaking, specializing in complicated watchmaking and repairing.
