A detailed twentieth-century vintage watch guide by a watch collector for watch collectors.



A detailed twentieth-century vintage watch guide by a watch collector for watch collectors.

The early 2000s were an important period, spanning a time when mechanical watches had quite rightly retaken their place in the world market. We all may have a digital device in our pocket that is more accurate than a mechanical watch, but a timepiece has soul, personality, and history.

The collection in this book is a step into the world of vintage watch collecting. Highlights include:

• Over 100 vintage watches, their restoration, and their histories

• A range of photographs

• Intricate research

• Accessible reference material

• Showcases some of the most interesting, luxurious, and functional 20th-century (1930–1980) mechanical timepieces ever to be produced, including Heuer's Autavia, Rolex's Submariner, Gallet's MultiChron, Zenith's De Luca, and the Universal Space Compax.
