Product Description
The Watch is a survey of the best vintage and contemporary mens wristwatches that is as visually compelling as it is informative to read.
A well-made mans wristwatch combines inspired design, technical innovation, and precise craftsmanship. Vintage watches are filled with sentiment and history, and are often passed from wrist to wrist across generations. Today, designers use cutting-edge techniques and materials to create some of the most complex miniature machines ever attempted.
Ranging from Patek Philippe and Rolex to Seiko and Swatch, and covering fifty brands in depth, the book provides essential wisdom on buying, collecting, and maintaining these timepieces. Illustrating the text are more than 500 photographs of mens watches, including remarkable details of dials and movements, selected for their beauty and diversity from collections around the world.

I found this book an excellent first book to read about watches and watch collecting. It covered fifty top names, albeit briefly, but clearly and with good background information. The pictures were clear and beautifully reproduced. I can't decide if I will use this book as a coffe table book or as a dog eared, highlighted reference I take with me when watch shopping.

I'm a woman who has loved watches for over 35 years. This book has beautiful pictures, but, I could not find a single woman's watch. It was disappointing. Did I miss something? I returned it!

A beautiful book featuring beautiful wrist watches including some from both American and high end Japanese manufacturers.
