If you’re a lover of watches, The Wristwatch Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide to Mechanical Watches is a must-have for your coffee table. Earlier this month, our very own Allen Farmelo reviewed the book, writing:
“The Wristwatch Handbook is in equal parts a technical textbook, a beautiful art book, and a playful meditation on watch collecting. By combining these attributes, this book serves as an intelligent, plush, and often fun exposition on a topic that tends toward the tedious. Schmidt is a natural writer, his voice refreshingly casual and to the point as he moves through technical explanations with an easy grace. Part of his strategy is to anthropomorphize the movements, which is both endearing and helpful.”
On this week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, we talk to the book's author, Ryan Schmidt.
This week’s episode is brought to you by the Worn & Wound Shop.
