so now that i have a Journey Through Time, im looking to expand my book collection. any good recommendations on other watch books?

 

Do you like any specific watches or types?

 

Schiffer publishing has some good offerings.

 

yeah im a sucker for the vintage watches. right now i collect only omegas but would love to branch out into others like bulova, hamilton and such.

 

Do you have Moon Watch Only?

I recently got it and am very impressed.

 

No I do not, currently only have one watch book period so I’ll add this to my list. Thanks!

 

I would recommend 'Longitude':

As also:
a) Breguet: Art and Innovation in watchmaking. Beautiful book based in the pieces that were exposed in the San Francisco Fine arts museum sometime ago. It is more of a 'tabletop' book, beautiful photos of the watches but not much technical detail.

b) The wristwatch handbook: a comprehensive guide to mechanical wristwatches. Good coverage on the main parts of a mechanical watch (spring, escapement, complications, etc), nice photos and good technical information.

I personally really enjoyed reading A Time Capsule - Omega Speedmaster. It does a good NASA narrative with the speedy. But this was made before MWO arrived so some of the speedy information is outdated, but the narrative is enjoyable.

If you're into speedy books, fratello did an article about it- https://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-an-overview-of-speedmaster-books/

 

A Man and his Watch is a nice and cheap read

 

If you're a Speedmaster fanboy like me, Moonwatch Only is a must. But the price - ouch!!

 

I bought 'Moonshots by Piers Bizony' over Christmas, not a watch book per se, but a few Speedy pics. But there are hundreds of awesome NASA pics!

some good stories and some interesting watches

 

Hi. I have 2 books about Omega watches.
First its a old book in french and the translate is how to make a omega.
And the, the title of the secondly book is omega saga (in french too), about the legend.

 

Personally I raccomend "The Master Of Omega" - Isnardi! You can find for a good price on Ebay or other markets

 

Top 3 of the larger wrist watch books... Omega, Rolex, BLancpain... have to say the 2019 editions of the Mondani Editore books got better !
.

 

"Watchmaking" - George Daniels "MoonFire" - Noman Mailer are my picks....

 

A new book on the early Omega chronometer watches. Much anticipation and good reviews.
