Title: Wristwatches: A Connoisseur's Guide by Frank Edwards ISBN: 1552090833 Publisher: Firefly Books Pub. Date: September, 1997 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.57
Rating: 1
Summary: Pretty pictures- Scant value
Comment: This is an OK gift book with nice photos of watches, but it fails as a "connoisseurs" guide. There is scant history of the various brands and almost no technical information. No connoisseur would seriously consider a Timex watch, but Timex is presented along with the finest Breitlings, Bulgaris, Breguets et al. In the section on Bulgari, the author describes in detail a watch given by Count Galazzo (sic) Ciano to a friend, but there is no illustration to go along with the description.
A watch collector or connoisseur should not waste his or her time with this lightweight giftbook
Rating: 3
Summary: Nice but short¿
Comment: Nothing much to learn from this well illustrated book, at least nothing more than what can be found in "wriswatch annual". For newbies only.
Rating: 4
Summary: Concise interesting overview of actual wristwatches producer
Comment: Accurate and concise history of time keeping, with a brief history of the technical evolution as well as a generical presentation of the main 50 makers and their actual products. Good photos.
