For those wanting to learn about watch technicalities - any book suggestions?

[theomegas]

I was hoping someone might be able to recommend any books that explain the inner workings of watches, e.g. something to enable one to learn about escapements, hairsprings, calibers etc, etc.

Books with diagrams would be even be better. I'm not sure if there any references out there that are commonly used. I tried Amazon and regular google searches to no avail.

I would just like to better understand how watches work on a technical level. Thanks for any suggestions.

i would try maybe "howstuffworks.com" and search automatic watches.
