Fun short introduction
This was a great overview of the world of watch collecting. I enjoyed the brief history of time pieces, and their evolution. It also has some practical tips in taking care of and purchasing mechanical watches. It was also good to include the lack of pay for watchmakers. Our society tends to lose more and more of its art and skills to technology. It was a fun read that I was able to finish in one sitting.

so many typos and errors
Overall, a plain book about watches. It could have been a lot better, if more attention was paid to the basics of editing.Also, the pictures just plain suck.Could have been a good book with just a little bit more of work.

Good, short introduction to the luxury watch world.
Very basic, but informative book. Not an in depth book, but a very good start to get an idea of where to go.

This is a small little booklet (14cm x 21cm) that Iâm not impressed with, even the content the layout affirmed that itâs not worth my $.If I have seen this book physically I definitely will not have bought it, the overall feel of the book is like a free book.Just my 2 cents worth and maybe itâs just me.

It’s more of a pamphlet than a book. Good info, a few pages tops on some top brands but I suggest buying a more substantial book with better and more colour photos and more technical detail. This book is informative but remedial. As always, you get what you pay for.
