This, from the identifier series, is a pocket guide for both the novice and the established collector, from classic to modern day wristwatches. Ranging from early Cartier Lady's strap watch, a 1931 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso to a contemporary Girard-Perregaux wristwatch and a Pop Swatch. The introductory section tells of the origins of the wristwatch, what makes it tick and gives tips on starting and expanding your wristwatch collection. It is arranged into sections covering jewellery and sports watches, military timepieces, classic collectibles and Swatches. Each entry gives details of the date of production, the materials used, and other distinctive features coupled with information on its history, and is illustrated with a colour photograph.
