From a PREVIEW by Master Vishnu Arun (a 8th Grade Student)When I began reading the Book, of course it started like our text books by defining what is time, History of Watches etc. But as I proceeded, it was interesting to know how the time measurement methods and devices were developed over the ages. Next came the explanation about the inside mechanism which is totally new to my knowledge. It was very interesting to know about functioning mechanisms and how by adding some parts, the hand winding mechanical watch was modified into a self -winding Automatic Watch. Similarly, which functions are modified to get an Electronic Watch, which is called as a Quartz Watch. And a score of information as to what large number of options are available in buying Watches. The most practical aspect was on Self - Care about Watches, about the Daily upkeep by the wearer and the type of Watch servicing and how often it should be done etc.
