Description: About this productProduct InformationThe early 2000s were an important period, spanning a time when mechanical watches had quite rightly retaken their place in the world market. We all may have a digital device in our pocket that is more accurate than a mechanical watch, but a timepiece has soul, personality, and history. The collection in this book is a step into the world of vintage watch collecting, with a range of photographs, intricate research, and accessible reference material that will intrigue both the casual and avid enthusiast. The collection showcases some of the most interesting, luxurious, and functional 20th-century (1930-1980) mechanical timepieces ever to be produced, including Heuer's Autavia, Rolex's Submariner, Gallet's MultiChron, Zenith's De Luca, and the Universal Space Compax.Product IdentifiersPublisherSchiffer Publishing, The LimitedISBN-100764354957ISBN-139780764354953eBay Product ID (ePID)240067067Product Key FeaturesAuthorAlistair GibbonsLanguageEnglishTopicClocks & WatchesDimensionsItem Length8.1in.Item Height1in.Item Width9.1in.Item Weight48.1 OzAdditional Product FeaturesBook TitleChasing Time : Vintage Wristwatches for the Discerning CollectorNumber of Volumes1 Vol.Lc Classification NumberNk7484.G53 2018Reviews"This book is a step into the world of vintage watch collecting, with an amazing range of photographs, intricate research and accessible reference material that will intrigue both the casual and avid enthusiast" - David Aldous Cook, The Trader, October 2018FormatHardcoverTarget AudienceTradeLccn2017-953850Publication Year2018IllustratedYesGenreAntiques & CollectiblesNumber of Pages240 Pages
