Excellent

A welcome treat for someone who loves watches and horology but doesn't get much interaction with fellow enthusiasts. Beautifully read. Love it.

Great read/listen!

An absorbing and well researched volume. Thoughtfully written and nicely read. Would recommend to anyone interested in watches, clocks, and horology broadly. Thoroughly researched and compelling.

Fantastic history of watches…

…entwined with an autobiography. You will learn things! Plus, this book has nothing to do with clocks, but watches.

Intriguing historical details but felt short and left something to be desired

I enjoyed the book. It’s a really interesting dive for watch lovers, but I did feel like I wanted more from it. Maybe more history of different watches, brands, key figures, etc. But I think it works well as a quick read, which it was. Maybe it’s simply meant to be a gateway to the subject matter.

Time as we Know It

I collect Pocket Watches. So this book had an abundance of information which I found interesting. The long history of time keeping is explained as is the continuing effort to acquire time by users, scientists and hobbyists. I strongly recommend this book.
