"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."
