Mastering the Fundamentals of Clockmaking

The Art and Craft of Metalworking in Horology 

Horology is an ancient craft—far more than just luxury brands and exclusive boutiques. A true clockmaker should be capable of fabricating almost every component of a timepiece from scratch.

This book offers a thorough introduction to the essential metalworking skills required for that purpose. The author has made it a priority to present these traditional techniques and processes in a clear, accessible, and contemporary format.

Currently, preparations are underway for the translation of my book into English. The book is expected to be released in the summer of 2025 under the title Mastering the Fundamentals of Clockmaking: The Art and Craft of Metalworking in Horology and can now be pre-ordered without obligation by email at Hambel@uhrmacher-buch.de. No advance payment is required, and you will be notified as soon as the book becomes available. The book can be ordered directly from the author via this website.
