Waltham Wristwatches A Collectors Guide contains more than 650 images of Waltham watches from years 1912 - 1955. most identified with model number, some by model name, and suggested retail price when the watch was introduced. Twelve years in the making, it's the first identification book devoted exclusively to Waltham wristwatches. A large part of this work is based on the company and jobber catalogs that Waltham produced for the trade from 1926 to 1955. The remainder are models shown from various advertisements and actual specimens from auctions and private collections. This resulting guide is far from complete, but at least is a good start and will help Waltham collectors identify their treasures..

'The Wristwatch Handbook' provides the reader with a comprehensive anatomy of the mechanical wristwatch; every conceivable function and form. It is the foundational text for the novice and the reference book for the seasoned enthusiast. Where other books about watches focus on advising the collector, on a single brand, or on a timeline of key historical figures and events, 'The Wristwatch Handbook' takes a detailed look at mechanical wristwatch complications (functions) and leaves no stone unturned. The reader will gain the ability to identify a complicated watch from twenty paces and perform a top-to-bottom assessment of even the most exotic timepiece in a matter of seconds. Despite the functional obsolescence of the mechanical wristwatch (our phones, computers, even microwaves tell more accurate time), there are more varieties of mechanical watches available than ever before. Today, innovation is no longer exclusively preoccupied with accuracy; pioneer manufacturers are also exploring friction reduction, anti-magnetism, scratch resistance, dial decoration, exotic materials and so on.

As with any specialized field, pocket watch collecting has its own terminology, and it is not always easy for the novice collector to understand what the "experts" are talking about. What does it mean to say that a watch has "jewels" or that it is "adjusted"? What is a "hunter case" watch? What's the difference between a railroad "grade" watch and a railroad "approved" watch? What is a "lever set" watch? Isn't "rolled gold" a brand of pretzel? Etc., etc., etc.This booklet is full of all the things I wish somebody had told me when I first started collecting, and which I have shared with many new collectors over the years. Keep in mind that I have tried to keep things as simple and basic as possible for quick and easy comprehension, which necessarily means that this is not a scholarly treatise. But hopefully this will give you enough information to get you started and also give you a clue what those "other" books are talking about.
