The watch is a survey of the best vintage and contemporary men's wristwatches that is as visually compelling as it is informative to read. A well-made man's 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 role to se I ko 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 men's watches, including remarkable details of Dials and movements, selected for their beauty and diversity from collections around the world.

Blame it on this book...
When I bought this book, I was looking to replace a quartz watch that had given up the ghost. "The Watch" tantalized me with beautiful photos, profiles of the major marques, recommendations for some reasonably affordable, distinctive and extremely well made watches. Then it pointed me to the key web sites for the watch addicted, and it was all over for me. That was half a dozen somewhat expensive mechanical watches ago, and by now I've got my own favorite "manufactures," many other watch books and a watch jones that is barely under control. For the beginner, the book is a great place to start and get a very useful overview. For the watch afficionado, it is a wonderful little volume to return to from time to time and thumb through at your leisure to see old favorites, get a bit of history, see what Mr. Stone and some of the other contributors recommend and whether your taste runs along the same lines or not. There are also some interesting profiles of collectors, who tell how they got started and how their watch passion has evolved. Definitely a book to own.
