Anton KreuzerOmega Designs: Feast for the Eyes

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.

Great pictures, and good explanations Not up to date with the new coaxial movements, though. That is okay for me, since I am interested in older models.

If you are interested in more than how Omega watches look and need to know what's inside them, this book is a great resource. As a collector it's frustrating to see watches listed for sale with movement calibers listed, but not have a source of information that provides details on the movements. For Omega watches only, this book seems to be definitive in this area. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the major Omega lines and the other information on the company, although it's far from comprehensive. I would only recommend this book if you want or need the technical data on the Omega movements.

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.

Wonderful coffee table book!

good book

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.

Mi aspettavo belle fotografie di quadranti e movimenti, invece prevalgono le inserzioni pubblicitarie.Scarsa dissertazione dei movimenti Omega!

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