Bronze MetlaUist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a Workman frcm the People's Palace Exhibition, London MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at the British Horological Institute and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. He haa noticed, while m the colony, that; watches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and yearß of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing a valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK.
