Few collecting areas can offer such a wide range of choice. Thousands upon thousands of watches, ranging from expensive Breguet watches to inexpensive late patented watches are available to the collector. This standard work charts the development of the watch in a lucid and unpretentious style, and provides an easily understood glossary of technical terms and answers the types of questions which a dealer learns to expect from the collector.
