Book review by Bruce Shawkey.
Mr. Bruce Shawkey was kind enough to read and review my latest book.
Bruce is the recipient of the NAWCC James W. Gibbs Award for Horological Literary Excellence.
Looks like I did a pretty good job!
My latest is about the TRUE origins of waterproof wristwatch technology.
Specifically, how this technology was developed by Charles Depollier in cooperation with the U.S. Army Engineering & Research Division 1918, including the watertight screwdown crown.
All of this happened 8 YEARS before Rolex introduced the 1926 Oyster.
Sorry Hans Wilsdorf, but your whopper of a story has been exposed!
History has been corrected!

The trick now is to subtly leave hints for holiday gift buying.
Is there a link to order a copy?

Thank you!
Depollier WAS a genius, with a foresight that many lacked.
Looks like a great book Stan.
