This exploration of the evolution of the pendant/pocket watch is divided into centuries. Each century explores what was happening in the world and how these events and fashions influenced watch making. This reference includes information on makers, their marks, and even the serial numbers for the American watch movements. Filled with clues, it will help you determine when a watch was made, how it was made, what it is made of, and what makes it tick. The amount of photographs of timepieces in this volume is impressive - hundreds of watches are featured in beautiful color photographs. Cases, dials, and movements are included in the photographs - this book encompasses the entire watch. 2004 values.Payment Methods AvailableCheck, Money Order, Visa/MasterCard, Discover, PayPal.Shipping and Handling Cost: $4.10About UsCollector Bookstore the internet's leading retailer of reference books for the collecting community.
