Matt Hranek's collection of 76 never-before-told stories about the watches worn by Paul Newman, JFK, Ralph Lauren and Sir Edmund Hillary, each photographed as found, scuffs and all. It is about the relationship between people and watches rather than the objects alone, which is why it endures on collectors' shelves.
Why selected
The one watch book that converts non-collectors. Recommended as the first book for anyone entering the hobby, and the rare coffee table volume that gets reread.
