Reviews
This is one of those rare mens style books or at least mens style adjacent thats smart, but also accessible. It does a wonderful job of distilling what makes watches special without making the casual reader feel like an outsider. The Watch is something that both collectors and neophytes can enjoy, which is why its been one of the bestselling books on this subject for over a decade. -- PutThisOn.com
