It was not long before American watch manufacturers adopted the form and brought their ingenuity and creativity to bear on the style and design of the wristwatch.\n\nFifty years of innovation and beauty follow, and this beautiful book brings you that story in word and picture. Illustrated with over 600 full color pictures, the authors have traced the history of the American wristwatch. Their original research brings life to some of the persons who influenced its development. Design periods are defined and the watches they engendered are amply illustrated giving the reader knowledge that is valuable, both for the appreciation and the collecting of these wristwatches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SCHIFFER PUBLISHING LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985130582069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0764301713","price":77.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780764301711_10633560-7510-4f2f-840e-ac0748abd3b4.jpg?v=1778654493","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/american-wristwatches-five-decades-of-style-and-design-9780764301711","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
