Book excerpt: “I’ve paged through stacks of books on the history of watches. . . . But I hadn’t come across a book that actually moved me until I picked up A Man and His Watch. The volume is filled with heartfelt stories.” —T: The New York Times Style Magazine "There are a bunch of beautifully illustrated watch books out there, but A Man & His Watch by Matt Hranek is more than that. It speaks to the nature of watches as deeply personal items." —Gear Patrol, Coffee Table Books Our Staff Can’t Live Without Paul Newman wore his Rolex Daytona every single day for 35 years until his death in 2008.

Franklin Roosevelt wore an elegant gold Tiffany watch, gifted to him by a friend on his birthday, to the famous Yalta Conference where he shook the hands of Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. JFK’s Omega worn to his presidential inauguration, Ralph Lauren’s watch purchased from Andy Warhol’s personal collection, Sir Edmund Hillary’s Rolex worn during the first-ever summit of Mt. Everest . . . these and many more compose the stories of the world’s most coveted watches captured in A Man and His Watch. Matthew Hranek, a watch collector and NYC men’s style fixture, has traveled the world conducting firsthand interviews and diving into exclusive collections to gather the never-before-told stories of 76 watches, completed with stunning original photography of every single piece. Through these intimate accounts and Hranek’s storytelling, the watches become more than just timepieces and status symbols; they represent historical moments, pioneering achievements, heirlooms, family mementos, gifts of affection, and lifelong friendships.

This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a shortage of skilled watchmakers and clockmakers in America, and soon millions of timepieces of a bygone age will likely be gathering dust in a bottom drawer or attic, or worse, scraped for the gold or silver content of their cases, and in the case of clocks just thrown away. Every year young Americans graduate from high school with no plans for college and no job skills. But under their nose, at least for a select few, is a trade that can provide for them a chance to be self-employed in a society where only a small number out of a hundred have the courage to even think of such a thing and a chance to earn much more than they ever will as an employee. Many may have been told that watch and clock makers are obsolete because of all the cheap watches and clocks on the market now and have no idea how much money can be earned operating a watch and clock repair shop. This book will put that myth to rest. There is money to be earned in the watch and clock repair business, and that is an opportunity a young person not headed for college, or even one who is, cannot afford to pass up. The watch and clock manufacturing industry has gone through many changes over the last fifty years and with that came changes in the watch repair industry-mostly for the betterment of those in the trade. Watchmakers today are making more money than ever.
