UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze MedaUist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. Tirst Award of Merit as a Workman frrm the People's Palace Exhibition, London* MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at tha British Horological Institute, md passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key binder and one keyless; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly my watches that may be entrusted to him. He has noticed, while m the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoiled ihroujzh being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one jut a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly,, and as there is jo royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary jefcre 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.
