Wristwatches - Tapa dura

Wristwatches presents illustrated portraits of all the popular watch brands - some of them long since unavailable - from America, Germany, Japan, France, and, of course, from the world's major manufacturer of timepieces, Switzerland. In its technical chapters, it explains all the highly complex operations going on underneath the face and tells the fascinating story of the watch, of its design and its various forms and looks. This book is a great read for everyone with a taste for luxury.
