Time is a great mystery. A changeable element, which expands or
vanishes, but that appears concrete as it is marked by the passing
of seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years. The path toward the
capture of minutes and seconds coincided with the phases of
scientific evolution that allowed man to manufacture watches that
are increasingly reliable, but that are also in tune with changes
in customs, social needs, and aesthetic canons. This book covers
the art of watch manufactory as well as 60 great models, covering
both their technical evolution and style trends. In each chapter
in-depth studies will guide the reader to the history of the most
important manufacturers, the personalities linked to the models
treated, technical innovations, styles of the period, or records
achieved by the wristwatches: from the watch that helped Charles
Lindbergh during the first transatlantic solo flight, to the one
worn by Sir Edmund Hillary on the top of Mount Everest, the most
iconic models will be discussed in detail.
