Horology: An Illustrated Primer on the History, Philosophy, and Science of Time, with an Overview of the Wristwatch and the Watch Industry (Featuring Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Breitling & More)

Me parece un libro muy interesante, contiene un repaso por la historia de las principales marcas y modelos acompañado de imágenes de páginas enteras. Posiblemente tenga unas100 imágenes de relojes. Ampliamente recomendado para los aficionados a la horologia.

The price one pays for this book is more for the glossy presentation and less for content. If horological porn is your thing and you drool over full page photographs of expensive watches then this will float your boat!

As an author, myself, I deeply appreciate and have fallen in love with this book. Kaplan's tone is relaxed, comfortable, friendly and so easy to read. The book is a beautiful combination of coffee table photo book, history text, philosophical examination, technical details and much more. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for as an amateur horologist. I cannot recommend it highly enough if you're looking to learn more about horology.

Connecting history of time and watches. A great gift

Not worth the price, most of the book is full of full page photographs of the famous watches. It does not go deeply into the history of watches, just very briefly. Nothing about big breakthroughs or moments in watch industry. It could have been much better. Total waste of money. I am going to return it. Don't buy !
