The Watch Book: More Than Time by Gisbert L Brunner
From stopwatches and alarms, to world clocks and calendar functions, to tourbillons that counter the effects of gravity, these so-called complications have been the crowning glory of fine watchmaking for centuries. The Watch Book – More than Time is an illustrated compendium of watchmaking that explores these most intricate elements of the horologist’s craft through timing, astronomy, and striking. This volume is a unique and impressive addition to the book market and a lavish tribute to the mastery of horology. Text in English and German.
Gisbert Brunner, born in 1947, has been working with wristwatches, pendulum clocks, and other precision timekeeping instruments since 1964. During the quartz watch crisis in the 1970s, he discovered a new love for mechanical timepieces as well. His talent and passion for collecting chronographs led him to publish his first articles on the subject in magazines including GQ, ZEIT Magazine and Chronos in the 1980s. He has since written more than 20 books about every aspect of the field. Munich-based journalist and author Christian Pfeiffer-Belli is Editor-in-Chief of the German antique watch magazine Klassik Uhren (Classic Watches). Established in 1978, Klassik Uhren appears every other month as the only German-Language magazine that deals exclusively with classic watches.
