The Impossible Collection of Watches (ฉบับที่ 2)

Foulkes picks some genuinely surprising pieces for his 100, and I ended up reading it like a novel rather than a reference book. The photography is the real star though — the close-ups of the movements are sharp enough that I keep going back to a few pages just to look closer.

The paper quality on this second edition is genuinely impressive — thick pages that make the photos of each timepiece pop. Foulkes picks 100 watches spanning the whole twentieth century, and I've spent hours just flipping to random pages.

Didn't expect to actually learn something from a coffee table book, but Foulkes's picks for the 100 breakthrough timepieces since 1900 had me reading cover to cover. The photography alone justifies the price.
