Perfect for the Mechanical Watch Afficianado
This volume gives little text but loads of glossy photos of the inner workings (and outer beauty) of fine Swiss mechanical movement watches. These pictures are enough to send most watch afficianados into a frenzy. Take it from me. I'm married to one and he didn't put this book down for about two weeks. It was drooled over every chance he got. If you have one of these (watch nuts) at home, you may want to order this, as it will keep them out of your hair for the next couple of weeks and you can get things done. It also makes them more amenable to your suggestions. Have fun!

Eye candy and great food for the brain...
Stunning photography, great close-up detail, and thorough descriptions, makes this book a work of art, and an absolute must for any watch enthusiast.

If it contained info on YEAR and PRICE..
it would be perfect. As it is now, its just a (huge) coffee table book of very nice closeup pics of watches.
