A Man & His Watch: Iconic Watches and Stories from the Men Who Wore Them

Great coffee table book. Quite an interesting read for wrist watch enthusiasts, collectors. Looks cool, photography is very well done.

Ideal coffee table book for watch lovers. Good quality and interesting read

My fiancé's face lit up when he opened this on his birthday. He has a passion for watches and tells me he almost bought it for himself after hearing the recommendation of a watch YouTuber he follows. The quality of the outer case and the book itself are excellent, the pictures are very well taken to show all the details of the watches and every one has a beautiful story to it. He gave me a synopsis of each one as he read through the book from start to finish in one go and I loved the human interest side even though I only have a passing interesting in the subject. A fantastic present for anyone who appreciates watches.

The book is obviously for watch enthusiast. It takes the view point from the owners of particular watches & what it means to them personally as well as information on the watches themselves. It didn't bother me that I didn't know all of the people mentioned in the book, I appreciated their nostalgia & history of their time piece. An enjoyable steady read for watch enthusiasts, a different view point than most books about watches which tends to concentrate on watches, brands, history just like every other watch book. This is a book of personal emotional ownership.

Beautiful book.

Good book

An amazing book highly recommend for any watch lovers

This is one of the most interesting books on watches I've ever had,the stories are heartwarming, photography astonishing. And it looks beautiful too, the texture of the covers is amazing. The back cover gave me goose bumps, I didn't know about that note on the back of the Newman Daytona..get the book and find out for yourself ;) The book also came in extra bubblewrap protection, I think they come like this from the publisher. And it's a good thing that they do, because Amazon's packaging has gone from bad to terrible. It was all torn apart and open on one end..no further comment about that matter.. The book deserves 6 stars, Amazon packaging 0.

A nice introduction to wrist watches, but this book has a lot of mistakes, for example: Page 82: Edmund Hillary wore a Rolex on the top of Everest. In fact, since 1933 Rolex sponsored the Himalayan expeditions and they used the right words, Rolex worn TO the top of Mt Everest. New Zealander Edmund Hillary carried a 33mm SMITHS wrist watch ON top of Everest. This British-made SMITHS can be seen in the British Science museum in London. Page 103: Omega Alaska Project Speedmasterwas never used in space In fact, in 1977 the Omega Alaska II Project Speedmaster was worn during Russian Soyuz 25 & Soyuz 26 missions to Salyut-6 space station. It was even used during a spacewalk in July 1978 ! Page 104: Schirra's Speedmaster was the first watch in space (1962) In fact, in April 1961 Yuri Gagarin wore the first watch in space, a Russian-made 17 jewels Shturmanskie

One watch one story that will help you to memorize some of most iconic watches . Interesting informations and stories. I really liked it . Good material, good delivery, perfect coffee book .
