 Nice book on watches. October 31, 2007
William Butler (CO. USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Very nice book on watches, some great pictures and details. I did wonder if it had been proof read as, I found a few errors, or maybe it is in the translation. But still some good facts.
It does contact approx 30 pages of advertisements.

Great photos of mainly expensive swiss and Europe made watches. Many brands of which were unknown to me before reviewing the magazine.
Watches International Volume VIII (Watches International) December 20, 2007
David R. Mcgee (Van Buren, Arkansas, USA)
This is my second or third book in this series. That should tell you that I like it. It covers what the writers consider to be important wristwatch companies. I am not sure how they decide who gets in and who is not good enough. There is a brief history of the company and its philosophy, pictures of its most notable watches, and descriptions of the variations, or options available to a certain number of buyers. I read the magazines, and think I am fortunate to be able to buy these annuals. I doubt that I will ever learn enough about watches and clocks. If you also want all you can get, with high quality photographs, then buy each year. We all know the internet has information, much more information than a book can hold, but these annuals have photographs you can examine with a magnifying glass. I keep the books handy for impromptu browsing.
