The wristwatch is the only jewellery that most men will wear,
although many would not want to call it that. A watch may be a
practical device for the sole purpose of telling the time as
accurately as possible, a complicated machine, a wearable design
object, or a status symbol. Some watch wearers, like scuba divers
or pilots, rely on their timepieces for safety and survival. Gene
Stone's The Watch covers all these things and more. It ranges over
the world of watches without prejudice, mixing the old with the
new, and the expensive with the economical. It introduces the fifty
major brands that any watch collector must be familiar with.
Essential wisdom on buying, collecting, maintaining and wearing
watches is provided. And an encyclopedic glossary offers a crash
course in watch lore. Best of all are the more than 500 photographs
of terrific watches, including remarkable details of dials and
movements, and selected for their beauty and diversity from
collections around the world.
