A Man & His Watch

For any watch enthusiast

One of the best books on the watches which captures the pictures of vintage and modern watches and the stories behind it

This book opened up a new world for me. Wow! I never thought that watches would hold much historical importance until and unless it is personal for someone else to talk about it in relation to his or her own life. The different unique, branded/crafted watches which were worn by each distinct personalities described in this precious book are so like a detailed story of their own - in short, the real glossy pictures put up in this book is so worth it! Each of the watch featured is not an ordinary one; each has a remarkable story to tell. Stories that say much more by those who own them or wear them can ever tell and stories which can never be told by just mere onlookers who see them decorating the wrists of those who wear them. This one book happens to be one incredible read👍 I thoroughly enjoyed turning page after page reading and fixing my eyes on the watches shown...wow... I am still mesmerized. I can totally understand the watch craze. As I am with hoarding books, so does the watch hoarder does this kinda stuff. The presentation is awesome👍 The pictures... I can keep staring at them forever. Ah those personalized watch inscription at the back of the watches.... Damn nostalgic moments! What I miss while reading this book was the littlest details of the personalities mentioned. Otherwise 'watchwise' too I would have loved to go much into finer details of each watch mentioned. But still, it is a great book to read while travelling👍

The book contains information about all the famous watches in the world and who wore them. Generic read.

I got a slightly damaged copy with the top edges of the book a bit torn.The contents of the book are a pleasure to read and see.

The book is not as interesting and gripping as i imagined it would be. Nevertheless it's still a one time read. My favourite segment is the Ralph Lauren one.

I enjoyed reading it.

A nice introduction to wrist watches, but this book has a lot of mistakes, for example: Page 82: Edmund Hillary wore a Rolex on the top of Everest. In fact, since 1933 Rolex sponsored the Himalayan expeditions and they used the right words, Rolex worn TO the top of Mt Everest. New Zealander Edmund Hillary carried a 33mm SMITHS wrist watch ON top of Everest. This British-made SMITHS can be seen in the British Science museum in London. Page 103: Omega Alaska Project Speedmasterwas never used in space In fact, in 1977 the Omega Alaska II Project Speedmaster was worn during Russian Soyuz 25 & Soyuz 26 missions to Salyut-6 space station. It was even used during a spacewalk in July 1978 ! Page 104: Schirra's Speedmaster was the first watch in space (1962) In fact, in April 1961 Yuri Gagarin wore the first watch in space, a Russian-made 17 jewels Shturmanskie
