The book every independents freak needs to have

It's only once in a while that I rave about a new watch book. Was is 'White" by Osvaldo Patrizzi , where I was exited about, a couple of years ago, this time it is the book 'MASTERS OF CONTEMPORARY WATCH MAKING' by Michael Clerizio. Published in 2009 Most...
Mine is already on order

It was the answer to someone's question of what to get me for a present! A
absolutely fantastic book and a very nice price

the only drawback was that the main text is set white-on-browned watch photos which is hard to read, so more terrace than bedtime reading. Best Andreas
Hi Andreas - and so readably right!

I have only read only a chapter or two so far about my favorites, with clean hands and the book resting on a clean surface; but I have to tilt the book at a certain angle so that the text becomes readable. I am living more in a workshop than an apartment ...
Hi Amerix,

yes, in Baden-Württemberg only light snow. Stay warm, and enjoy your book while the storm is howling - after all they manage to see and work on tiny things in the Vallee de Joux in weather like this so we should be able to read about it! Best Andreas
Got mine for the holidays - absolutely fantastic.

When I unwrapped the book, I rapidly became MIA from my family. Every page is a treat. My only criticism is that the text is on a tan background and hard to read in less than optimal light (for example in the early morning when my wife is asleep and I don...
Thanks, Geo!

This looks like a must read for me! Cheers, Daos
Wonderful recommendations Geo!

I'll be telling my wife to get me a copy on New Year Eve! on second thought, maybe not, I have a feeling she might need something in return? hmmm... Happy New Year guys! Mech.
What a coincidence!

I just got these two books today. The one is what you refer here and another is "just movements". The title IS "MOVEMENT". All pages are just the photos of movements from various masterpieces. Nothing to read on the book, just to look at! Every page is "o...
oh my Ken!
By: Mech : December 29th, 2009-18:38
the movement pix of "MOVEMENT" literally jumps out of the book! another must get! thanks Mech.
I'll second 'Movement'
By: centrax : December 30th, 2009-14:38
Picked up Movement the other day, absolutely fantastic photography. Masters of Contemporary Watchmaking is next on the list to buy.
NEXT

i've just bought mine from Amazon
By: G99 : January 1st, 2010-14:48
Amazon have it at only £31 so i jumped on it. all i've got to do now is carry it around with me to every independent show or the SIHH and clamour like a groupie to get it signed Graham
Have had it for a while now...
By: Gary G : January 2nd, 2010-22:38
...and I'm sad to say that the poor graphic design makes it almost unreadable for me. The writer also seems a bit given to hyperbolic prose (in my view) and the fact checking could be a bit better from what I've read so far, but all in all it's a great re...
