Description: Pieter Doensen has now written a comprehensive history from the first electro-dynamic watch system developed by Hamilton in the early 1950's up to the radio controlled watches of Junghans and the automatic quarz watches of Seiko and Jean d'Eve.

Besides the well documented technical evolution of the wrist watch between 1950 and 1993, Doensen has traced the development of the designers' watch. 
Added are separate chapters for multi-functional watches and miscellanea such as for instance the race for the flattest watch.

Since collectables need collectors and collectors need reference works, Pieter Doensen has taken up the challange to provide them with the first comprehensive study of the "collectable modern wrist watch".
