In a heartwarming display of horological passion, WatchProSite member xto shares a unique project: a custom-made 'first book of fine watches' for his grandson's second birthday. This personal endeavor, inspired by fellow member Mitch K, highlights the joy of introducing the next generation to the intricate world of luxury timepieces. xto's creation, featuring brands like Breguet, sparks a discussion on nurturing an early appreciation for watchmaking.

I followed a suggestion from Mitch K (thanks!)  and made up a little book for my grandson's upcoming 2nd birthday   



Some of you know by now my dear affection for Breguet, so the "B" page won't surprise 



Not publishing this as I don't have image rights  just for personal joy

I am not your grandson, but I would love to see more of this creative book.

Note: the work is copyright me but it's not for publication or sale as I have not secured rights to the pics for that purpose Also I know the text has mistakes and wasn't able to get the order correct but you get the idea

Start them young, yes?! Love Q is for quiet. If it's quiet it needs to be wound.

And books for all ages should be included. FYI, there are books for kids, R is for Rolex and I is for Independent. Bought both for my grandson and now he has to check what I am wearing and see if it is in one of his books. No greater joy then to lay on the floor and read through the book with him (5 years old) and discuss watches. We need to bring along the next generation(s). Cheers

if I get usable images, I'm just thinking that publishing it via Amazon or Google might be a lot of effort for an audience that broadly cares very little about the subject but here there might be folks who would want it (and maybe also the variants that it's easy to imagine!)
