) I bought this book at an antique store and wish I had bought it on ebay. But even at the price I paid, it is an excellent book and I highly recommend it for those with interest in antique pocket watches. It is a 350+ page book of beautiful color photos, a history from the beginning of watchmaking, a diagram of a movement, a list of serial numbers of many watch companies, old ads, and even some price values of a few rare pocket watches. The only disappoint was not having a little history on Ingraham Watch Company.
It is easy to read, but mostly you will be very pleased with the layout of the book and the many, many color photos.

I bought this book to get a feel for the value of some pocket watches that I have started to collect. It is beautifully illistrated and gives some history on the making of some of the watches.
It is a very interesting book, but...

It is a very interesting book, but the highlight did to American watchmakers is highly valued!
Is regrettable, not giving more emphasis to European watchmakers and their works ...
After all it is still a great reference work even for those who want to start this interesting hobby, which is to "collect or admire" the Clocks that regulated the Unit of Time for tens of generations!
Thankyou!
