About the book
As a professional watchmaker and watchmaking instructor, Kalle Slaap has always been passionate about preserving the art of watchmaking and inspiring a new generation to explore it. Drawing on practical experience, he shares valuable insights—the do’s, don’ts, and common pitfalls—while capturing the true beauty of watchmaking.
Unlike traditional academic books, “Watchmaking Explained” is written in a personal and engaging style, making it a pleasant and accessible read. To bring watchmaking into the modern era, Kalle has integrated QR codes throughout the book, giving readers instant access to videos with in-depth technical explanations and practical demonstrations.
In addition, readers receive free access to the Chronoglide forum, an exclusive community where they can discuss, learn, and connect with other watch enthusiasts. This combination of book, video, and community creates a truly modern and immersive watchmaking experience.
