"More than a visual treat, author Alexander Barter backs up the
horological eye candy with insight and substantive context...A
great gift for watch fans or as a classy coffee table appointment."
–Gear Patrol
"Alexander Barter’s new book, The Watch, is the antidote to decades
of watch publishing mediocrity…"—Robb Report
"With Christmas, Chanukah and other gift-giving/receiving events
nearing, note please the timely (see what I did there?) arrival of
a superb new book you’ll want both for yourself and to present to a
fellow watch lover. Published this week, The Watch – A Twentieth
Century Style History serves both the newbie and the seasoned
enthusiast, and it’s a book you’ll leave on coffee-table or bedside
for constant referral." —Revolution.com
