BigDaddy050970: "A Man & His Watch" by Matt Hranek is an ode to the timeless appeal of wristwatches and the stories behind them. This coffee table book features a collection of anecdotes from various men, including actors, athletes, musicians, and collectors, who have cherished their watches over the years.
The author artfully captures the emotional attachment between men and their watches, and how each timepiece holds a special place in their hearts. From a watch given as a gift from a grandfather to the watch worn by a father during his service in the military, the stories are poignant and personal.
The book also provides a brief history of watchmaking, highlighting notable brands and their contributions to the industry. The stunning photography of the watches, along with vintage advertisements and images, add to the book's appeal.
Whether you are a watch enthusiast or not, "A Man & His Watch" is a captivating read that celebrates the sentimental value of timepieces and the memories they evoke.

Chris D: This is actually a really good book. I just bought a Rolex Explorer II and decided I should learn a little more about the culture of watches. I didn’t know what to expect. I feared it might be full of watch snobbery and such. But there are some really unique watches in the book and a lot of life philosophy as well. It was fascinating how the author got access to the archives of prominent watchmakers. I now want to read his other book on cars and buy a Porsche or something. Maybe drink a Negroni as well.

KNDY: I am a watch guy! I am also a guy who reads about watches, learning more about the tradition and history behind the watchmaker and the company, while learning about the product releases since the company’s inception.
But I saw a book that was different from watch books that I typically read.
I decided to give Matt Hranek’s October 2017 book “A Man & His Watch: Iconic Watches and Stories from the Men Who Wore Them” a try because it’s a book in which men share their stories of an important watch (or watches) that have true meaning for them.
May they be watches they received from a loved one, a friend or something they won from a competition, I believe there is a story behind a watch for some owners and that is what made me interested in giving this book a try.
The hardcover book comes with a slipcase (with both sides opened) and the book features the cover of a Model 6263 Big Red Rolex Daytona once owned by the late Paul Newman and now owned by his youngest daughter Clea, who can be seen in many interviews and events sporting the watch.
For those not familiar with the watch, the Paul Newman watch is the most expensive of all time....
