I bought this for myself at the the beginning of lockdown.
Agreed it is a really fascinating read!
Im sure as watch type people we all occasionally get watch related gifts at birthdays and Christmas, most a well meaning but fall short of being useful, I was pleasantly surprised with one I got recently, its fascinating, the difference with this book is it tells the watch journeys of the contributors, sometimes its high end but occasionally the mundane and 'normal', its less about the watch but the sentiment behind them, so it ranges from Swatches to MilSubs, quite a refreshing change to the usual 'watch porn', although there is plenty of that too.
Just thought I would share.
Cheers..

I enjoyed it although I did cringe a bit when some said there own brand of watch
Brilliant book Jase. I got a copy for fathers day last year and was so pleased with it I bought a couple of extra copies to give away as raffle prizes and stuff. It isnt much money either, this should be on every WIS coffee table mate.
Got it for Father’s Day too. Interesting read and good pics.

It seems to be all about the place at the moment. I saw Chronext are giving it away with every pre-owned watch purchase.

The same guy has done a car one too.. out soon.
Nice book. Beautiful pictures. Stories a little weak or short or superficial... got it as a birthday present. Good for our beloved not so obsessed by watches as we are. Placed in the living room. For me not deep diving enough. I like it’s not just expensive watches stories. Love the blue Tudor Submariner in page 175... cheers

all i hear is good things about that book, IDGuy has a nice video on it
Nice one, Jase. Will look out for it.
Often see this book recommended. Will have to give it a read!
Out early next month.. it's on my birthday list. He also produces a magazine called WM Brown Project which is expensive but a good read.. He's worth a follow on Instagram too https://www.instagram.com/wmbrownproject/?hl=en

Thanks for the recommendation, just ordered a copy and eagerly await delivery!!, was going to get the kindle version, but this is a book that needs to be on the coffee table as mentioned..
Nice present - looks like an interesting read
Great book. Got it for Xmas 2017. Is this an update or got the same date?
