Miller's Collector's Guide
Frankie Leibe et al
Watches offer the collector a combination of ingenious
technology and decorative design. This practical guide is a starting-point
for the newcomer to the subject. It begins with information on the
components and mechanics of a watch, and goes on to explore watch design
from rare 16th-century examples to state-of-the-art contemporary
timepieces. Arranged chronologically, each section describes mechanical
developments and decorative trends, introduces major makers - including
Breguet, Patek Philippe and Rolex - and offers collecting information.
