I’ve recently reviewed the Tascione Watch Repair Course.  It consists of 5 info. packed DVDs and the course manual “Watches and Why They Work”. This course was designed for the person who would like to learn the dying art of mechanical watch repair but doesn’t have the time or funds to attend a traditional watch repair school and has discovered how difficult it is to learn from books and diagrams alone.

The course manual describes, through the use of many detailed diagrams and simple to understand text, how and why a watch works. The course is perfect for learning Wrist and Pocket watch repair. The first 3 DVDs and the manual have been linked through the use of an on screen timer. When something is being explained in the text that might be a little difficult to understand, such as escapement action, It give you the exact point to fast forward to on a video to see exactly what the instructor is talking about. This system makes sometimes difficult to understand topics unbelievably simple to learn.

The course covers cleaning and general repairs on a watch with a minimum of tools is in this course. You’ll learn in a a short time the hints, tips and tricks that many people years to learn through trial and error.  The manual even has a chapter called “Business Tock” for those of you who might want to take advantage of the lucrative watch repair service market. This chapter shows you correct pricing techniques and work load limits.

It was amazing how good instruction material makes a difficult task easy.
