 Beginners' Guides
Clocks Magazine's Beginners Guides are quickly becoming must-have items for horologists everywhere.

The two Beginners Guides shown here are the start of a planned series of booklets that will cover every aspect of horology.

So if you want to make a start in a new area - or just to brush up on your knowledge of a particular topic - these are for you.

Others already in preparation include our Beginner's Guide to American Clocks by Tom Spittler and our Beginner's Guide to American Clock Repair by Greig McCreicht.
Based on Ian Beiby's acclaimed series of clock repair articles for the horological beginner, our Beginner's Guide to Clock Repair is a 64-page booklet, lavishly illustrated in full colour.

In clear and simple terms, it gives the beginner to clock repair an understanding of how a striking clock works and how to repair one which is has stopped or is running erratically.

The Beginner's Guide to Clock Repair is a MUST for those who are learning to repair clocks for the first time.

without it.
