Watch books

As if I haven't already got enough hobbies, I think I've started another one with watch books and catalogues ๐Ÿ˜‰

I feel you, I got the same problem. There are a lot of free catalogs you can order๐Ÿฅน

Have you read the Wristwatch Handbook yet? Is it mainly lovely photos or is there quite a bit to actually read?

The wristwatch handbook is an amazing read with some great photos. Just beware its huge and heavy, so not a great toilet read ๐Ÿ˜‚

On the flip side, it's much cheaper than watches!! ;-)

Same here man. Not pictured is my "man and his watch" book. Under the retro watches book are an Oris and Tudor catalog. Thankfully I have slowed down.

Nice, what are the wristwatch annuals like? Are they expensive?

I know, some are really nicely done as well. The Glashutte catalog is really top notch and free ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

The VC catalogue is a must for this addiction of which I surely don't face either ๐Ÿ˜…

Nice collection ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

The Wristwatch Handbook is an incredible read. Just a few pages a day and you will learn something about every conceivable complication, explained in easy to understand language. And the pictures are second to none. Iโ€™ve given one to several watch lovers, including my Patek/Rolex AD.

A proper watch book library is an essential for the advancing collector. Things online come and go but not if it is in black and white. I can't count the times that I have found stuff in my library that could not be found anywhere online.

Don't do books these days but there's no way that one works on a Kindle! I've ordered a copy ๐Ÿ‘
