The name Rolex is recognized around the world as an icon of beauty, quality, accuracy, style, and taste. While there are other fine manufacturers of timepieces, none has reached this pinnacle of public respect and acclaim over the years. The watches produced by Rolex over the last 90 years are celebrated in this lavishly illustrated classic The Best of Time: Rolex Wristwatches: An Unauthorized History. Authors James Dowling and Jeffrey Hess, both acknowledged Rolex watch authorities, have captured Rolex watches' beauty in color photography and present the most thorough and extensive history written of the company. Brief but informative chapters detail some of the most recognizable Rolex designs like the Explorer, Submariner, Daytona, and Oyster Quartz, and these are augmented by associated color pictures of the models they discuss. There are also chapters on the development and operation of Rolex' Oyster Perpetual movement and chronometers. Tons of information for collectors and newly revised market values of the watches make this a truly useful volume, one that will be cherished by watch lovers around the world.
