This book gives a good overview of the history of the most renowned names in the watch industry. Often, the author displays tremendous knowledge of the companies' often turbulent histories.

Even during these trying years of the pandemic, Rolex dominated the pole position of luxury Swiss watches. A benchmark of quality recognised in every corner of the globe, if you ask anyone which is the best luxury watch brand, the answer is infallibly Rolex.

In the decade since it was published, the international audience of watch lovers and watch collectors has grown exponentially. It’s time for The Watch, Thoroughly Revised. For this new edition, the original author, Gene Stone, is joined by Stephen Pulvirent of Hodinkee.

The Watch Book I and II in one Expansive knowledge from renowned watch expert and historian Gisbert L. Brunner alongside almost 1,000 high-quality color photographs brings together the latest innovations and most important names in top-end timekeeping under one roof. Ironically it is also Nobby who ends the war between the dwarves and the trolls. In Thud it is revealed that the Battle of Koom Valley, the main reason for the continuing hatred between those two races, was not supposed to be a war at all but a chance for the Kings of each side to discuss peace. This information is contained in an ancient artifact called a Cube. Nobby, who has been set up as a petty thief from the start, finds and steals the Cube at some point in the book, although we do not find this out until Vimes tells him to hand it over. Vimes works out how to make the Cube play its message, in the presence of the current King of the Dwarves, and the truth of Koom Valley is heard for the first time in hundreds of years. Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak famously turned 50 in 2022, and that anniversary year appropriately saw the release of this hardcover tribute to the iconic, forward-looking timepiece, penned by award-winning journalist and former British GQ editor Bill Prince. An outlier when it was introduced in 1972, the first steel watch that strove for the same ennobled status as a gold one, the Royal Oak nevertheless found an audience among youthful, free-spirited enthusiasts who appreciated its fusion of avant-garde industrial and elegantly traditional elements. It blazed a trail for many stylistic descendants that followed throughout the ensuing decades and has also proven to be a canvas for innovation in the areas of materials, complications, and bold design. This massive book explores the history of the iconic model from a broad cultural perspective, starting with the watch-world stir it created upon its release and tracing its evolution into a cultural artifact of its time, incorporating archival materials uncovered by Audemars Piguet’s heritage department as well as exclusive testimonies from longtime “friends of the brand.” Six decades’ worth of stunning imagery from the worlds of fashion, art, architecture, music, and other cultural touchpoints accompany the story of the Royal Oak’s evolution. The book also gives voice to “Generation Royal Oak,” a group of notable watch enthusiasts who came of age in the era following the model’s launch, including Serena Williams, Mark Ronson, Elle Macpherson, and Kevin Hart.

Obviously, the watches are provided full set, with all the documents and accessories of a standard FOIS, but also with all the original parts, which means that the customization is totally reversible and that the watch can be returned to its original configuration. The chronograph complication and the history of Rolex have always been inextricably linked. Rolex’s first foray into measuring time began already in the 1930s with the Manufacture’s very first Oyster chronograph model. In 1963, Rolex launched the Cosmograph Daytona, a sports chronograph that has perpetually evolved ever since, reflecting the spirit of the brand that has consistently striven to improve existing technology, always pushing the boundaries of technical feasibility. I'm an old man now, and thinking about the mess the world's in makes me tired. Nothing's been learned since Vietnam. It fills me with sadness.

The stuff of everyday headlines these days and very possibly the best book I've read on the current wars. On the edge, driven, taut, and by far the best depiction of American soldiers on the front line. In many ways a mixture of Jarhead and War, it takes you straight into the fighting, bleeding, dying.

He had genuine interest in and liking for people, particularly in contrast to his boss and friend, Vimes, who "doesn't like anybody". He is often shown to be able to get people to do things no one else could force them to do, simply by assuming that they will; for example, he has great success in his outreach programs to at-risk Ankh-Morporkian youth by treating them like boy scouts. When he directly commands someone, they find it supremely difficult to disobey (even Vimes is shown on one occasion as being susceptible to this power). However, he preferred not to use this except in dire emergencies.
