Whether you simply find watches fascinating or you have an old watch that you are curious about, this book is the one for you. This exploration of the evolution of the pendant/pocket watch is divided into centuries. Each century explores what was happening in the world and how these events and fashions influenced watch making.

Filled with clues, it will help you determine when a watch was made, how it was made, what it is made of, and what makes it tick. The amount of photographs of timepieces in this volume is impressive - hundreds of watches are featured in beautiful color photographs. Cases, dials, and movements are included in the photographs - this book encompasses the entire watch. 2009 values.

Book did not match listing photo (pic2) The listings only photograph was of an autograph page (pic 1) which means this seller did not photograph the actual item being sold. The seller had to be contacted twice to get a full refund. The shipping cost was very expensive and item was poorly packaged. I have been buying items from ebay for many years and this is the first time I have delt with a seller whose listing was so blatantly dishonest. Buyers beware!

$10 shipping and took over 2 weeks, refused to give tracking number, the cover is bent but they did not disclose that, poorly packaged and arrived open, overall bad experience and customer service- they just send copy and paste messages. I would avoid this seller.

    Title says it all

    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.

    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!
