eBay Early Swiss Wristwatches and their Manufacturers 1910 – 1930 A Research into the 13-ligne Lever Escapement Movement The book – over 280 pages, in full colour with about 600 photographs, provides a method of identifying the many anonymous manufacturers of 13-lines (0-size) Swiss lever escapement movements of the early 20th century. The core of this work is a database of about 120 extensively researched 13-line movements. Introductory chapters deal with the developments towards machine watch manufacturing, the transition from pocket watch to wristwatch, a depiction of the outside of this type of watch and a technical description of the 13-line movement. This is followed by an elaborate explanation of the research. Thereafter a new “tool” for identification is introduced. In a final chapter remarks and conclusions are presented as well as extensive references. This publication will certainly fill a niche in the market, and it has the potential of becoming a reference book in its category, as it forms a unique source of information for collectors of trench-watches and anyone interested in early 20th century Swiss watchmakers. Some reader comments: This is a very welcome initiative of the two authors to bring brightness into the darkness of the early days of the Swiss wristwatch. […] The advantage of the book is that it introduces a new method of identifying movements. The authors lead the reader with a rather well researched historical overview to the subject. In a compact, but informative way the technical manufacturing development of watchmaking in them18th and 19th century is described, […] accompanied by a richly illustrated analysis of the various design features and the technical history of the 13-ligne Swiss lever movement. Dr. B.H. – Germany For enthusiasts and collectors, as well as practicing watchmakers, Early Swiss Wristwatches is a good read. The dept and detail of the research is remarkable and is unique in the field. And, it sheds much light in an otherwise unexplored corner of horological history. D.B. – Canada Great Book. It has solved many mysteries! Y.S. – United Kingdom Highly recommended triple AAA brilliant reference book. F.A. – Sweden An excellent guide for every collector and workshop, invaluable, thank you! A.C. – U.S.A. An absolute must have for anyone interested in early wristwatches, excellent!!!! S.N. – Japan Fantastic book, very informative, GREAT pictures, text, must have for Swiss fans. W.J. – U.S.A. Unusual and most interesting book. A novel and unique analysis. P.W.K. – U.S.A. It?s a nice piece of work! The number of calibers that are described in details is just impressive. Congratulations to you and Koen. J.P. – France Someone had the book at the last De Rikketik event and it looked great to me. Now that I ‘ve been able to go a bit more into its content I think it is an outstanding work. Congratulations!! P.C. – Spain Superb publication. A.J.M. – United Kingdom I think your book is an amazing result of much research, and is beautifully presented. R.R. – Switzerland The point is that research is dangerous, and often success or failure cannot be predicted until a lot of time and effort has been expended, and I think this is true of the book by Verneij and Van Rijn. They must be congratulated for the enormous amount of work involved in creating the database. So how should the book be rated,?excellent? or ?good?. I think ? very good? is a reasonable compromise. Dr. R.W. – Australië
