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 cne keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. He has noticed, while in the colony, that w&tches arovery 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 years of practice are necessary before* 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 trained men. -—— '"""' O ' i "' All work will now be done personally .by MR BLACK.
