Bronze Medalist 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 kej winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properlj any watches that may be entrusted to him. He has noticed, while in the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoila through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. JSo om but a"practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there 1 no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessar; before a man can (with truth)'call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing i valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of. the hands ot un trained men. All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK.
