1001 Wristwatches
I just got back from Barnes and Noble looking for Georgia Pellegrinis book, which they dont stock, and found this little gem instead, 1001 Wristwatches: From 1925 to the Present by Martin Hausermann, in the bargain aisle. It was only $7.98! Thats cheaper than any of the watch magazines on the newstands.The book is broken down into Mens watches, Chronographs, Aviator watches, Divers watches, GMT and World Time Watches, Watches with Alarm features, Tourbillon Watches, Calendar watches, and Repeater watches. My favorite companies, Glashutte Original and Sinn, are showcased, as well as the big name and not-so-big name Swiss, French and German makers.
Its printed on quality thick gloss paper with watch porn on every page. The book is basically almost all watch porn with very little in the way of substance but nonetheless its quite the find.
