purchased as Xmas gift really smart looking book great quality. Purchased for a watch nut so think he will have many happy hours reading. Only thing I would recommend is you have better packaging for delivery as edge of sleeve a bit damaged.

Splendido
Splendido è l'unico aggettivo che si può usare per descrivere questo libro.Il volume è di grandi dimensioni e molto pesante (per la carta di ottima qualità usata nella stampa). E' diviso in tre sezioni: Stars At Auction (selezione di alcuni tra gli orologi di maggior successo nelle aste per collezionisti - Rolex, Patek Philippe, altri Rolex, altri Patek Philippe...), Watchmaking At The Highest Level (una selezione tra gli orologi di alta gamma - Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin), Watches For Heroes (orologi indossati da persone famose o in eventi importanti - Omega, Rolex, ancora Omega, ancora Rolex...). Ogni orologio è presentato con una breve descrizione e con fotografie impeccabili.Non è un libro per chi vuole informazioni tecniche esaustive (per questo ci sono altri volumi) o per chi vuole conoscere i movimenti e le complicazioni. Non ha la pretesa di presentare tutti gli orologi che dovrebbero essere presenti in ciascuna delle tre categorie sopra descritte. E' una piccola selezione a discrezione dell'autore, presentata in modo impeccabile e arricchita dal sapere di due mostri sacri quali Aurel Bacs e Jean-Claude Biver.A mio giudizio un libro da avere e leggere assolutamente insieme ad altri più tecnici.
