Watch making as in buying premade parts and putting them together? If so I can recommend this book. For only $15 it gives pretty good details on how to do this and I will be trying it eventually.
If you mean making all the gears and whatnot by hand than that is a whole other story.
Thanks brotha! I hope others get into the hobby. It would be AWESOME to see other redditors posting what they MADE and not just BOUGHT! I grew up in a lower middle class family, and my father always instilled in me to build things rather than buy them to save money, or fix things myself rather than pay someone to do the work I could do if I took a little bit of time to educate myself and learn. Also, buy this damn book: https://www.amazon.com/Beginner-Watchmaking-Build-First-Watch-ebook/dp/B004GNFJ4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493833543&sr=8-2&keywords=watchmaking
This book is an amazing read. It is simple. It explains things incredibly well. I have read it so many times and every little time my eyes open up to something I was confused on with a watch I was working on or something. It's dope.
