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 ths British Horological Institute ,nd passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key binder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly ,ny watches that may be entrusted to him. 41 He has noticed, while m the colony, that v/atches are very often entirely spoiled hrough being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one >ut a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is io royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary jefcre a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing & valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un rained men. All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK.
