About this product
Product Information
The Illinois Watch Company has long had an honored place in the annals of horological history. From their founding in 1869, through their commitment to timekeeping excellence in the early 20th century, to their development of many wonderful Art Deco/Moderne-inspired wristwatches in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, Illinois was a leader in its field. Today their watches are highly sought after by collectors, both for their engineering and beauty.Here is the history of the company covered in great detail and with solid research. Included are historical documents, vintage photographs of the people and manufacturing processes at the Illinois Factory, old advetisements, and a compendium of their wristwatch production from their beginning until their sale to Hamilton Watch Company.But the best part for the collector and historian alike is a visual record of nearly every wristwatch design ever created by Illinois Watch Company, and their variations, in beautiful full color photographs. Each is accompanied by complete information about the watch and its production. In addition, scattered through the book are historical references that place the Company's evolution in the context of the general history of the period, and notes about the collectors of these fine timepieces and the adventures they have had in pursuit of them.Taken together this is an exciting and informative new volume for those who appreciate and cherish old timepieces.

Very nice reprint. New condition. Quick shipper. USPS has their quirks. Item was as advertised, and quite a lot less expensive than other sources, including Thriftbooks.com and a seller on QRZ.COM. Once again, this is a reprint, and not an original, hence the possible price differences. I would do business again with this seller, and I believe I did have business previously with them, having purchased other books along the same subject matter.
Thanks, from a satisfied customer.

AAAAA+++++ Seller from a happy customer!
