THEREFORE, OVERSEAS SHIPPING IS EXTRA AT ACTUAL COST! No other object unites technical prowess, artistry and plain usefulness as nicely as a wristwatch. It's a combination that has made it the people's timepiece of the 20th century - a mirror of fashion and the obsession of countless inventors and entrepreneurs. Many propelled the wristwatch to heights of success, others saw equally sudden failures. This book tells the story of 84 of the century's most prominent watch producers - some, famous in their times, have long been forgotten. Insets and a comprehensive glossary cover the technical basics of watchmaking, while a chronology puts the subject in its historical context. More than 2100 illustrations take the reader through the fascinating "century of the wristwatch"- a delight for the eye and the mind. Nirgendwo anders verbinden sich Asthetik, praktische Vorzüge und technische Perfektion so harmonisch wie in der Armbanduhr. Diese Kombination hat die Armbanduhr zum Volks-Zeitmesser des 20. Jahrhunderts werden lassen. Immer der Mode unterworfen, verknüpfen sich mit ihr unzählige Erfinder- und Unternehmerschicksale. Manchen bescherte sie einen kometenhaften Aufstieg, anderen einen nicht minder rasanten Absturz. 84 namhafte, mitunter längst in Vergessenheit geratene Uhrenhersteller werden in diesem Buch vorgestelit. Exkurse und ein umfassendes Glossar vermitteln das notwendige technische Basiswissen. Eine Chronologie, in der Weltund Uhrengeschichte parallel dargestellt werden, rundet das Werk ab. Mit über 2100 Abbildungen zeichnet dieses uch das "Jahrhundert der Armbanduhr" nach - ein owohl technisches als auch ästhetisches Vergnügen. En nul autre objet, esthétique, avantages pratiques et perfection technique ne donnent lieu à une symbiose aussi harmonieuse que dans la montre-bracelet. Cette combinaison a fait de la montre-bracelet le chronomètre populaire par excellence du XXe siècle. Toujours soumise à la mode, elle a influencé le destin d'innombrables inventeurs et industriels. Certains ont connu grâce à elle un essor fulgurant et d'autres, une déchéance tout aussi brutale. Cet ouvrage présente 84 fabricants de montres réputés dont certains ont depuis longtemps sombré dans l'oubli. Des encadrés et un glossaire très complet procurent les connaissances de base techniques nécessaires. Une chronologie qui présente parallèlement l'histoire du monde et celle de l'horlogerie complète l'uvre. Avec plus de 2 100 clichés, ce livre retraçant " Le siècle de la montre-bracelet " constitue un plaisir aussi bien sur le plan technique que sur le plan esthétique.
