The Watch, Thoroughly Revised

If you want to know about high end mechanical watches and be up and ready to talk with a snobbish well educated horologist....then get this book and start reading it. Nice picture, but great info on these very expensive watches with lots of little facts. Good book if your hobby is time pieces.

Gives an history of every watchmaker, both luxury and non-luxe historical companies, and tells the story of the watch that out them on the map and those keeping them on the map

Introduz à horologia de modo atraente e elegante. Agradável leitura, sem muitos tecnicismos, mas também sem ser superficial demais. Lindas fotos. Bela seleção de relógios. Bom para quem se interessa pelo assunto e aprecia a arte encontrada na beleza e na precisão das máquinas, e deseja um aprofundamento na história e peculiaridades dos modelos . Compraria de novo. Recomendo.

Excellent book. Love the variety of brands and the photos.

I work in the watch industry and it's a fantastic book for me personally, but that's to be expected as Stephen Pulvirent is arguably the world's pre-eminent watch journalist working today. What I thought was particularly impressive though was how well received the book was by my colleagues working in the studio whose interests came more from a jewellery or engineering background. It's rare for a book to have that broad appeal.
