Anton KreuzerOmega Designs: Feast for the Eyes

Very nice

Peu de modèles, surtout des anciens et des mouvements, peu de pages en couleurs. Pas tant orienté design que le titre le prétend.

More a history of product development than a "picture book" of Omega watches over the past ten years. Good vintage movement details for collectors. Occasional stilted writing style and I expect the author was not a native English speaker.

Granted, this was a translation, and while the development history and whatever story is trying to be told is confusing, it has great information and reference material on Omega movements, which is exactly what I was looking for. Don't need any coffee table books. Buy it. It may be the most information you can get without spending serious money. Better yet, buy it used like I did.

The book is good as a reference. They don't give much detail as the the chronology of the model release, buyt they have really nice pictures. The best part of the book is the detailed illustrations of the movements and the specifications--these come in handy when trying to figure out if a watch is authentic or a smash-up of parts.

With a far from comprehensive collection of color photographs of vintage Omega's, a smattering of vintage ad reproductions, and a barely comprehensible company history, this book's only saving grace is the illustrated history of Omega movements.If you need more movement info than can be found in Cooksey-Shugart, buy this book. Otherwise your money is better spent on something more generic, like (Heinz Hampel's) Automatic Wristwatches from Switzerland.
