Lose yourself in descriptions and histories of fourteen of the most interesting and precise complications and variations, including the regulator dial and the moon phase display, while avoiding the obscure watchmaking terminology found in other texts. Venture into the International Watch Company Museum, a building equally as stunning as the watches themselves, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.

At the end of the tour, receive expert collecting and fashion tips, including suggestions on what outfits to wear with certain timepieces., For the aspiring mechanical watch collector, this casual yet insightful overview is the perfect introduction.

Seller Feedback (353,826)
- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
