This book is so much more than a simple book about watches. It tells the stories behind some very interesting people that owned some of the most important time pieces in history. The book is written in a way that makes you want to know more about the watches and when you read you understand why a watch is so important to many people. It is a fun way to get information and the book is a light read with a selection of great photos that back up the stories in an engaging way. The reader gets a clear understanding why the author is so interested in watches, it really is not a book for nerds, but will probably turn you into somewhat of a watch nerd after reading it. This book will probably also look good on your coffee table and it is a great suggestion if you are in need of an interesting gift.

Nice book with great photographs. I wish more diversity in style of watches. It does have a great photo of my vintage Tudor Monte Carlo and have that page bookmarked with the end piece of an older alligator strap.

Can't say enough about it. My son is a watch collector and we gifted this and a bamboo watch to him for his birthday.He really liked both. He has now started a collection of books about time, timepieces, etc.Try this book. There is a plethora of information that is so interesting! If you like timepieces, this is a must-have.

I found the book to be easy to read and informative. As well a listing the author's choice of the 10 best watches for him to collect, he provided some background and history to each watch. The "About Time" book is an excellent addition to a watch enthusiast's library along with the Wristwatch Annual.
