Abrams Books The Watch

Dislike

Nice book to keep in the living room. Beautiful photos along with the history of influential watch brands. Must have if you are a watch enthusiastic.

Bought this as a gift for my husband who is a watch lover. Its a great book - highly informative, beautiful photographs and lots of them. Everyone who comes round picks it up because its not something they would think to buy yet even though they may not be 'into' watches they cant put it down! Highly recommend it!

Well written, nice photos, and lots of useful information (history, glossary, and collecting / buying tips). Fifty bands are covered and undoubtedly some interesting ones are missing but given the number of wristwatch brands available, I don't feel it's reasonable to expect much more in one volume. One reviewer states that this book is nothing more than advertisements. This is simply not true as evidenced by some comments that are clearly critical of a specific brand.This book will make an excellent addition to any wristwatch lover's library.If you're looking for a book to cover many more brands, especially the more obscure, and you don't mind what clearly IS advertising, then try "2010 Wristwatch Annual" It covers what seems to be an endless number of brands with very nice photos, brand history, technical information and list prices. It also has some educational information which is quite useful to collectors and watch buyers in general,
