The Watch Book

Product Information

These coffee table books are born out of a collective effort, unprecedented, a magnificent, indispensable collection to gain a better understanding or rediscover, the world of watches from 2000 to 2020. Carrot has also promised Angua that, should she ever follow in her brother Wolfgang's murderous footsteps, he will be the one to stop her.

Angua assists Vimes in another diplomatic mission in Monstrous Regiment, and is mentioned in Going Postal as being difficult for criminals in Ankh-Morpork to avoid.And that’s why I make it a point to tell everyone back home that I’m at the epicenter of the place where the forces of fascism - of religious fundamentalism, societal repression, and violent hatred – must be contained. After devouring this book, watch enthusiasts will be able to both identify and comprehend even the most exotic of watch complications. Carrot is a stereotypical "perfect" policeman; totally honest, law abiding and determined to be friends with everyone.

After you’ve combed through the 400 pages of Rolex bliss, display this handsome book on your coffee table for all to enjoy. The young Nobby sometimes refers to his father as "Number One Suspect", and is afraid of going to prison because his father is currently in there.Whether sport or military in origin, they're commonly divided into the three categories of land, sea and air. In addition to placing American watchmaking in historical context, you can marvel at over 600 color photographs that illustrate the evolution of the American wristwatch. He is quickly set straight by colleagues that include Corporal Angua (Marama Corlett), Corporal Cheery (Jo Eaton-Kent), a non-binary dwarf and forensics expert, and Sergeant Detritus (Ralph Ineson), a rocky troll in serious danger of being sued for copyright breach by the Thing from the Fantastic Four comics.

To read The Watch is to witness unraveling of justified warfare, when those who live the reality of it find it to be not so much a noble cause as a desperate struggle to survive. They are also known as The Unmentionables (a colloquial British term for underwear), possibly a parody of The Invincibles, an Irish extremist nationalist group, or of The Untouchables, a prohibition-era law-enforcement group, who served as government intelligence.

From an intimate biography of the brand’s founder, Hans Wilsdorf, to intricate images of Rolex models and ads, this book doesn’t miss a beat. This is all of that, as well as an insightful read packed with beautiful images (on "art-quality paper") featuring a collection, of sorts, of 100 of the most legendary watches of all times — and the stories behind them written by veteran journalist Nicholas Foulkes. Whether you’re a newbie in the watch world or a die-hard watch nerd, the quest for horological knowledge is never-ending. 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. Historical and iconic models, like the first waterproof Oyster watch, the trend-setting Datejust, and the hugely influential Submariner dive watch, all receive their due in detail and technical analysis, and new models released as recently as 2020 and 2021 are covered as well in the updated version of this definitive coffee table book.
