"Master Wristwatches" presents the history of the watch with special focus on the development of quartz movement, then explores the different styles in brilliant color. For the collector of fashion follower, this book is required.

Rating : - Nice book, but...
I definitely have to agree with the other reviewers. This is a nice compendium of the different watchmakers, it has some good general background of the companies but it only mentions just a few - not all of them.

The photos are not that impressive, you can get better photos at some websites or watch magazines.

I recommend this book for a starting watch collector to get general information. If you want more in-depth knowledge look for other publications. ...
