Synopsis
A detailed twentieth-century vintage watch guide by a watch collector for watch collectors.
The early 2000s were an important period, spanning a time when mechanical watches had quite rightly retaken their place in the world market. We all may have a digital device in our pocket that is more accurate than a mechanical watch, but a timepiece has soul, personality, and history.
The collection in this book is a step into the world of vintage watch collecting. Highlights include:
- Over 100 vintage watches, their restoration, and their histories
- A range of photographs
- Intricate research
- Accessible reference material
- Showcases some of the most interesting, luxurious, and functional 20th-century (1930–1980) mechanical timepieces ever to be produced, including Heuer's Autavia, Rolex's Submariner, Gallet's MultiChron, Zenith's De Luca, and the Universal Space Compax.
This book and the watches within will intrigue both the casual and avid enthusiast.
