This new book traces the development of mechanical wristwatches with an acoustic alarm function, and gives detailed information for collectors. In addition to the external design of the watch, special attention is paid to the movements and how their creators solved the multitude of challenges that confronted them.

Nearly every model ever produced is chronicled, in words and pictures. The international array of companies include Eterna, Omega, Bruguet, Bulova, Citizen, Corum, Cyma, Jaeger-Le Coultre, Lemania, Pierce, Poljot, Ronda, Seiko, Venus, Vulcain, and Wittnauer, and many more. The technical data for each watch is recorded.
