Picture it: it’s the summer holidays, the chores are complete, dogs walked, kids dispatched to their friends' houses and you are left with nothing but a free afternoon, a desire to pick up a good book and a curiosity for horology. What do you do?
Luckily, you’ve picked up a copy of Compendium 01. Christopher Ward’s 198-page hardback book, written by one of watch journalism's most distinctive voices, Ken Kessler.
