About the Book

ENGLISH TEXT - TESTI IN ITALIANO - A BOOK BY MARCO STRAZZI, THE AUTHOR OF LANCETTE & C., ROLEX DALLA A ALLA Z, WATCH ADS e ROLEX 1905-1960 - The Museum Collection is a voyage through time(keepers), an entrance ticket to an exhibition, a source of advice and inspiration for watch lovers seeking to build up the perfect collection. What is the "perfect" collection? According to this book's concept, it is the one featuring the most significant wristwatches of the 20th Century from a technical as well as style viewpoint. This work has nothing to do with the usual auction catalogues dealing almost exclusively with the best-known brands and their most expensive products. The Museum Collection takes into account a large number of timepieces by lesser-known manufacturers, along with the obvious "must haves." Several featured objects are within the reach of the average collector, who can buy Four-Star pieces - whose impact was very high, to put it as the book's descriptions do - for less than 1,000 Euros/Dollars.The Museum Collection addresses itself to mature watch lovers who can appreciate the attractiveness of timepieces irrespective of trends, fashions and estimates, but not to them only. Its ambition is also to provide useful tips to those who approach the world of vintage watches for the first time, mostly after one or more experiences with modern products. Welcome to a unique journey into watch collecting. Visit https: //www.10e10.ch/ to download the preview file. ...................................... TESTI IN ITALIANO E INGLESE - UN LIBRO DI MARCO STRAZZI, AUTORE DI LANCETTE & C., ROLEX DALLA A ALLA Z, WATCH ADS e ROLEX 1905-1960 - The Museum Collection è un viaggio attraverso gli strumenti per la misura del tempo, il biglietto d'ingresso di una mostra, una fonte d'ispirazione per gli appassionati desiderosi di costruire la collezione perfetta. Cos'è la "collezione perfetta"? Secondo l'interpretazione proposta dal libro, è quella che comprende i cento orologi da polso più rilevanti del Ventesimo Secolo sotto il profilo tecnico ed estetico.The Museum Collection non ha nulla a che vedere con i cataloghi delle aste dedicate agli orologi d'epoca, che riservano l'ottanta per cento dello spazio alle quattro o cinque Case più celebrate e meno abbordabili in termini di prezzo. Accanto alle superstar note a tutti, il lettore troverà prodotti di marche meno conosciute. Molti degli oggetti presentati da questo libro sono alla portata del collezionista medio, che con meno di 1.000 euro può accedere a pezzi da Quattro Stelle, in altre parole di impatto storico "molto alto" secondo la definizione usata nelle schede descrittive. The Museum Collection si rivolge agli appassionati maturi che sanno apprezzare il valore degli orologi al di là delle mode e delle stime, ma non solo a loro. La sua ambizione è anche di fornire indicazioni utili a chi si avvicina per la prima volta al mondo del vintage, spesso dopo aver frequentato la produzione contemporanea. Benvenuti in un viaggio unico nel collezionismo di orologi. Visita https: //www.10e10.ch/ per scaricare il PDF di anteprima.
