Book Reviews of Watches International Volume VIII
Book Review: Watches International Volume VIII (Watches International)
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
