对于所有计时表迷、收藏家和腕表爱好者来说,现在有了经过修订的精彩新版《腕表之书》。这本综合性的咖啡桌书取代了早期的《观察书纲要》,并结合了《观察书 I》和《观察书 II》。与往常一样,成功作家吉斯伯特·L·布伦纳 (Gisbert L. Brunner) 以其丰富的专业知识大放异彩,通过 1,000 多张高分辨率照片让读者更加了解腕表的历史。本书收录了 40 多件作品,几乎没有任何一本图鉴能将如此多的优质腕表品牌集中在同一屋檐下。 《The Watch Book》的前身长期以来一直被专家视为标准作品——因为没有其他写真集比这本书更能描绘出高贵的时计。作者不仅像许多目录所提供的那样,以正面和侧面的方式展示奢华时计。读者经常可以直接看到这些工艺非凡的小型杰作的复杂机械结构。没有比这更美丽和艺术的方式来展示成熟的技术了。吉斯伯特邀请感兴趣的读者踏上钟表世界的时间之旅。从制表艺术的最初起源开始,我们陪伴着他一点点进入现代。因为即使在今天,高级手表仍然是风格、品味和地位的象征。文本有英语、德语和法语。
