5.0 out of 5 stars Well done reference book for Military Horologists., April 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: A Concise Guide to Military Timepieces 1880-1990 (Hardcover)

Well done reference book for Military Horologists. It is the first illustrated guide devoted specifically to the highly collectable field of military watches and clocks. Covers deck watches, pocket, wrist and clocks. Current prices are provided (in Sterling) for timepieces covered. This book is highly recommended to all fellow military timepiece collectors!

4.0 out of 5 stars Military Timpieces 1880-1990, January 13, 2002

By A Customer

A good concise book with lots of quality pictures and and idea of value in sterling. A worthwhile investment for collectors. My only complaint is that it is almost completely dedicated to watches. Only a small section in the back gives any information about all the ship's, tank, airplane and other clocks of military interest.
