2 comments about Chronograph to Complication: The Art & Technology of Accurate Timing (Volume 1).
- When I ordered this, I had hoped that it would contain some sholarly discussion regarding the complexities of chronographs and other related complications. Instead, it seems to be little more than a compilation of advertising material gleaned from the manufacturers.
To sum it up, after digesting this tome, I found myself saying, "Where's the beef?"
- This must-have book for the watch enthusiast is filled with watch history, from biographies of renowned watch makers of yesterday to the elite watch companies of today, like Rolex, Citizen and TAG Heuer. Filled with stunning photography on every page, Chronograph to Complication, by American Watch Guild founder Bertram Kalisher, "is a winner. This book pays tribute to those incredibly accurate watches that answer the age-old question so often asked, 'How fast did they go?'" - Mario Andretti

3 comments about Antique Clocks: 3rd Edition (Official Price Guide to Clocks).
- If you know nothing about clocks and want to learn more before you seriously invest time and money, this is not a bad reference. Ignore the title (it was published in 1985!) and most probably worthless as a price guide...and unless you are from California and can't read...it only covers "American" made clocks. It's an easy reference and somewhat informative...for beginners.
- I must of clicked on the wrong book. What good is a price guide to 1985 prices if it gives you nothing more than the price?! That's all you get here. Save your money and put it toward a clock!
- The book reviews American antique clocks only. You cannot tell this from the cover or the write up.
