Volume II of The Watch Book follows on the successful and
comprehensive earlier volume with a magnificently illustrated book
about the additional functions and refinements of wristwatches. For
centuries, so-called "complications" - any feature of a mechanical
timepiece beyond the display of hours, minutes and seconds - have
embodied the crowning glory of fine mechanical watchmaking. Among
the earliest of these are alarm clocks and calendar movements. Moon
phase displays have also been known for several centuries. Striking
movements can be considered among the most complex and technically
elaborate additional functions, while finishing techniques such as
skeletonising, which is mainly done by hand, also characterise the
high art of watchmaking. This superbly illustrated volume by watch
expert and historian Gisbert L. Brunner is dedicated to advanced
functions of mechanical timepieces, their historical development
and special technical features. Topics covered in this book
include: Hands and numerals; Spring; Astronomical display (moon
phases etc.); Tides; Double balance; Alarm clock; Altitude/depth
measurement; Skeletonisation. Text in English and German.
Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with
this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the
bestselling authors of Ikigai. 'Ikigai urges individuals to
simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them' (Marie
'' Kondo) Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let
it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese
phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is
unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed
to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or
'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus
on the present moment. From this age-old concept comes a new kind
of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use
all five senses to anchor yourself in the present. Every one of us
contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with
others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie. 'This is a
great little book to lift the spirits and remind us of the
importance of living in the 'now', not worrying about the past or
future.' - 5* Reader Review 'This book should act as a wakeup call.
Make each now a sacred moment. Pay attention! Make each moment
special!' - 5* Reader Review 'The authors of Ikigai have offered
another brief and masterful addition for those seeking out a
simpler and more fulfilling life.' - 5* Reader Review

You're Better than Your Mess
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Transform your life using the Bullet
Journal Method, the revolutionary organisational system and
worldwide phenomenon. The Bullet Journal Method will undoubtedly
transform your life, in more ways than you can imagine' Hal Elrod,
author of The Miracle Morning In his long-awaited first book, Ryder
Carroll, the creator of the enormously popular Bullet Journal
organisational system, explains how to use his method to: TRACK
YOUR PAST: using nothing more than a pen and paper, create a clear,
comprehensive, and organised record of your thoughts and goals.
ORDER YOUR PRESENT: find daily calm by prioritising and minimising
your workload and tackling your to-do list in a more mindful and
productive way. PLAN YOUR FUTURE: establish and appraise your
short-term and long-term goals, plan more complex projects simply
and effectively, and live your life with meaning and purpose. Like
many of us, Ryder Carroll tried everything to get organised -
countless apps, systems, planners, you name it. Nothing really
worked. Then he invented his own simple system that required only
pen and paper, which he found both effective and calming. He shared
his method with a few friends, and before long he had a worldwide
viral movement. The system combines elements of a wishlist, a to-do
list, and a diary. It helps you identify what matters and set goals
accordingly. By breaking long-term goals into small actionable
steps, users map out an approachable path towards continual
improvement, allowing them to stay focused despite the crush of
incoming demands. But this is much more than a time management
book. It's also a manifesto for what Ryder calls "intentional
living": making sure that your beliefs and actions align. Even if
you already use a Bullet Journal, this book gives you new exercises
to become more calm and focused, new insights on how to prioritise
well, and a new awareness of the power of analogue tools in a
digital world. *** This book has been printed with three different
colour designs, black, Nordic blue and emerald. We are unable to
