Finally, alarm wristwatches are recognized for their mechanical
ingenuity and the beauty of their design. This new book traces the
development of mechanical wristwatches with an acoustic alarm
function, one of the first wristwatch complications, and gives
detailed information for collectors. Hundreds of watches are
examined in 535 color images. In addition to the external design of
the watch, special attention is paid to the movements and how their
creators solved the multitude of challenges that confronted them.
Michael Philip Horlbeck, a scholar and collector of alarm
wristwatches, has written the standard work, a complete history of
the alarm wristwatch. Nearly every model ever produced is
chronicled, in words and pictures. The international array of
companies include Eterna, Omega, Bruguet, Bulova, Citizen, Corum,
Cyma, Jaeger-Le Coultre, Lemania, Pierce, Poljot, Ronda, Seiko,
Venus, Vulcain, and Wittnauer, and many more. The technical data
for each watch is recorded. This is required reading for all
wristwatch fans and all who may become such. Whether you are
interested in the design or the mechanics of these watches, you
will not be disappointed.
