What sort of price?
1001 wristwatches is a very safe bet, it's a huge hardback and totally crammed with watch0porn!
The Works had them online for about £3.99 (reduced from £20 or so) recently but I believe they sold out in no time flat.
Can still be had on e.bay for £5 or so.
it's quite expensive, but Masters of Contemporary Watchmaking by Michael Clerizo makes a nice coffee table book.
If you can find a copy...
Watch:Modern Wristwatch Design 1950-1983 by Pieter Doensen
Ooh - great thread. Have added them all to my Amazon wish list :)
"The Watch" by Gene Stone
"Watches" by Judith Miller...a cheapy
"1001 Wristwatches"...probably best value book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wristwatches.../dp/3848000865
One of my favourites over the years.

Zenith specific, but physically a nice quality book with lots of pics:

Forgot about this one:
Cult Watches by Michael Balfour
Has OP ever been back??
Cousins have a few cool looking ones from £40 up to £100, a Breitling specific one and another showcasing Omega designs through the years both caught my eye around the £50 mark.

Thank you for the info
Omega Journey Through Time a little on the pricey side

Would be great to get a bit more info on this as it looks like it has potential! - No reviews or much about it on amazon really
A recommendation from Foggy has got to trump any number of Amazon reviews.
It's got me looking for a local copy anyway

For the money, well worth picking up a copy.
