Grange books 1995
Watches (Centuries of Style) (Pocket Companion Guides - Centuries of Style)

Personal timepieces did not exist until the 16th century, when the mainspring was invented, enabling clocks to become portable. As the horological science became more sophisticated, moving parts of timepieces became smaller, and during the 18th century pocket watches became fairly commonplace among the richer members of society.

With intricate movements and ever more elaborate cases, pocket watches were items of great beauty.

In the early 19th century the first wrist watches were produced, but they were not mass-produ for another hundred years. Today, consumers and collectors are overwhelmed with choice when choosing watches.

WATCHES traces the fascinating history of personal timepieces, noting the most prestigious makes and offering practical tips to collectors. Illustrated with a stunning array of colour images, WATCHES is a valuable and beautiful reference volume.
