Description

Frank Edwards (au). This practical & informative guide tells the fascinating story of watches -- how we moved from sundial to solar-power -- & also gives hints on starting a collection, & practical tips on what to look for in a good watch. The main directory section guides you through over 50 prestigious watch brands. There are the ‘Great Houses’ -- Swiss watchmakers who make & finish watches by hand, brands whose names are synonymous with the great names of jewellery & fashion, & the high-tech companies whose multi-functional timepieces are marvels of scientific ingenuity. The descriptions are accompanied by beautiful color photographs of each watch.
