Die Uhr. Geschichte Technik Design: Eine Chronologie des 20. Jahrhundert - Alexander Barter
This is the German edition of Alex's Book The Watch: A Twentieth-Century Style History. The translation has been provided by Ansgar Knirim and there is an additional bibliography which contains German language watch resources.
Discover the stylistic evolution of the watch in the 20th century. This book, written by Black Bough's very own Alex Barter, takes the reader through the 20th century to show how the watch, in all its forms, evolved. It charts the early rise of the wristwatch, shows how the cataclysmic events of the Wall Street Crash unexpectedly led to a golden age of watch production, and demonstrates how the electronic watch, which almost destroyed the traditional industry, led to a mechanical watch renaissance in the last two decades of the century. Each decade opens with an introduction to the era’s stylistic and design highlights, then follows several detailed sub sections devoted to the development of specific genres within each period.
The perfect gift for watch aficionados, this beautiful, informative volume presents the world’s finest watches with an elegance and depth befitting its subject.
