The Watch, Thoroughly Revised / $50
A lot has changed since The Watch was published in 2006 — including a boom in watch collecting and the introduction of the smartwatch. The Watch, Thoroughly Revised updates this seminal tome to reflect the current state of horology. As before, it contains histories and information on category leaders like Patek Philippe, Omega, Rolex, Seiko, and Swatch, as well as some relatively new brands and models.
