Krátky popis
Now repackaged in an attractive and great value-for-money format,
this overview of twentieth-century horology combines stunning
pictures of the most covetable time-pieces with the unparalleled
expertise of a world-renowned vintage watch dealer. This impeccably
researched and lavishly illustrated book traces the evolution of
the watch across the twentieth century. It charts the early rise of
the wristwatch, shows how the cataclysmic events of the 1929 Wall
Street Crash unexpectedly led to a golden age of watch production,
and demonstrates how the electronic watch, which almost destroyed
the traditional industry, led to a mechanical watch renaissance in
the last part of the century.Each chapter focuses on a specific
decade, opening with an introduction to the era's stylistic and
design highlights and then examines the development of specific
genres of watches. Hundreds of color photographs include full-page
close ups that reveal intricate details of form, texture, and
design. Alexander Barter's vast knowledge informs his gripping
texts, which discuss the major achievements in watch technology and
design.This book also includes vintage advertisements and other
promotional materials, helping to give a sense of the eras in which
they were created. The perfect gift for watch aficionados, this
beautiful and informative volume presents the world's finest
watches with an elegance and depth befitting its subject.
