Coffee table books aren't known for their literary appeal, after all. They're known for being beautiful—and for giving house guests hints as to the very serious stuff you're into in a very serious way. It particularly highlights information that is difficult to find in regards to variations of the bezels, dials, and cases which can affect the collectability of a watch enormously.

This is another book written by Mondani, but this time about the manual-winding Daytona, meaning a bit earlier in Rolex’s history. Matthew Hranek, who is a watch collector and NYC men’s style fixture is the author of this book and has conducted interviews to dive into the stories about special watches worn by historic and legendary men, to tell the stories of these watches.

Rolex Watches – The Ultimate Guide: An extensive Rolex guide for the devoted enthusiast and novice collector The world of watches is extremely wide. There are countless watch manufacturers, models, versions, iterations, functions, and technology. From affordable quartz watches to highly collectible vintage watches that are so rare that only a few pieces are known to exist. The world of watches covers a lot, and there is a plethora of information about these small but very special pieces of craftsmanship.

For more than a century, Rolex has stood apart as the most legendary brand of watch in the world. A Rolex conveys many things: a luxury timepiece, a tool of power for movers and shakers and the symbol of passage into adulthood. From that date forward, the Rolex wristwatch has been synonymous with precision. Over the last 100 years, Rolex milestones include: the first waterproof watch, the first self-winding mechanism, the first wristwatch to fly over Mt. Everest, the first diver’s watch waterproof to 100 meters, the first to withstand magnetic fields of 1,000 gauss, the first to descend the Mariana Trench. A review states ”it is a requirement for any serious collector of Rolex vintage watches.” and we couldn’t agree more. With that said, featuring both volumes, it is an extensive source of information about all things wristwatches. If you are looking to immerse yourself in the world of watches, you have to start somewhere. If you follow our Journal, you are able to learn more about models, innovations, technology, and vintage design features. But if you are looking to take your education further, and want to immerse yourself more, books are a great source of information (or inspiration, for that matter).This is a must-have Rolex book for any watch enthusiasts. This is a revised and expanded third edition that contains an in-depth look at Rolex’s movements, stunning images, and perhaps the most extensive history guide of Rolex ever written. The book explains all of the different features of a mechanical movement, and highlife just the level of complexity that goes into a mechanical movement, such as power reserve, escapement, and much more. This book about Rolex contains hundreds of beautiful photos, and insightful information about Rolex’s history and tradition. It also goes through a large number of different timepieces and models and pays some attention to present models as well. This is the ultimate Rolex reference guide for really learning about Rolex, its history, and its timepiece in detail.

This book is truly a must-read for every Rolex lover and someone who wants to dig deep into the history and watches of Rolex.

This book highlights the interesting topic of wristwatches as a means of telling the time – and the contrast of the technology of the 21st century where smartphones and computers actually tell the time much more accurately than a wristwatch. But despite this, wristwatches have ”seen a boom in the development, production, and appreciation of all things horological.” Choosing a book about Rolex watches is not as complicated as choosing a Rolex watch, so we won’t go into a complete guide of what you should think about. But these things can be good to keep in mind: Do you want a book to learn or a coffee table book? This book is a comprehensive and detailed reference guide to Rolex sports models and goes through the history of each of these models, including the Sea-Dweller, Explorer, GMT-Master, Turn-O-Graph, Milgauss, and Cosmograph all the way from 1952 to 1990.
