Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I didn't like it. It was boring, uninspired writing by people who, for the most part, aren't even "watch guys". The book is a long series of vignettes from a number of people about one watch each. Most of the very brief stories are simply that "My dad gave me this and that's why I like it." or "Someone famous gave me this or once owned it." Aside from a couple of the chapters, each one being only one or two pages, they weren't even by people who had a passion for watches. In one instance, the owner of a watch goes on about the Buddhist philosophy about not having attachments to things and he only keeps it because his dad gave it to him, blah, blah, blah. If you're a watch collector and you have a passion for watches, are attracted to the engineering of machines or enjoy vintage watches of another era, you'll not get much from this. Save your money.
