A Perfect Gift for your Friends
Of course watches are possible gifts, but not suitable for everybody.
I was in Basle and could see the new book
Wei Koh: Making of a Masterpiece. ISBN 2-8399-0146-3, 240 pages, slipcase,
and I think that it's a must for UN-fans and generally for every watch fan, because it allows never seen views in a part of industry working nearly undercover. It's full of personal impressions also, phantastic pics of people involved in UN's history as well as never seen views into technique of watches, by Bernard Cheong and Nic Ong, technically perfect.
Therefore the book isn't made for watch friends only, but every reader will get one when reading this extraordinary book.
Choose it for the next birthday of your friends and as present for invitations.
