ICONIC HOURS: A journey through almost 100 years of movies

From the films of the 1930s to today's prestige television, this is a journey through cinema, characters, and the watches they wore. More than 80 iconic timepieces, each told through careful research, atmospheric photography, and the kind of detail only a fellow collector would think to include. The book covers budget finds and high-end pieces alike, chronographs and digital watches, for anyone who enjoys knowing the story behind what's on their wrist, or finding the perfect gift with a history attached. The author has compiled 106 fully illustrated watch profiles, tracking down the exact reference worn on screen for each entry, and has sought out and interviewed nine figures from the watchmaking world: entrepreneurs, technicians, enthusiasts, and collectors. Over 300 full-color pages of stories worth knowing, and a book handsome enough to leave on the coffee table. Read more
