Editorial Review: Product Description: A glorious century of vintage wristwatches springs to life in 1,000 spectacular color photos! 100 Years of Vintage Watches features wristwatches and pocket watches produced from 1870-1970, the most popular period for watch collectors. Author Dean Judy provides readers with practical tips on the hobby, as well as advice on what items to avoid. Each listing features a detailed description and accurate pricing information. Before-and after-pictures illustrating the restoration stages, along with photos of near mint versus the average watch, will aid readers in identifying and valuing their own collections. The book features famous Swiss makers such as Alpina, Breitling, Cyma, Tissot, and Zodiak, as well as many American watch companies, including Bulova, Elgin, Hamilton, and Illinois. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Vintage WatchesGood photos & description of vintage products. I bought this as a gift to a friend and he is really into Vintage watches. Rating:  - Vintage Watch GuideThis is a great reference however it has very limited information and only a fraction of collectible Watches are listed.I will admit the photography is excellent! Rating:  - 100 Years of Vintage Watches: Identification and Price GuideDisappointing. Little if any information about European and English watches. Misleading title should be call American watches and a few others. Unless you are into American watches - a waste of time and money Rating:  - A nice coffee table book. The book has thousands of pictures of watches, mostly pocket ones. However, it does not cover the history of such watches It's just a picture timetable of watch development. Rating: - Beautiful Photos, Valuable ReferenceI found this book to be excellent reading. It includes hundreds of beautiful photos and a brief but fascinating historical summary for several well-known foreign and American watch manufacturers. Even a person who knows nothing about watches would enjoy browsing through this book. Highly recommended. Browse for similar items by category:
