{"product_id":"b0h92r8gls","title":"The Watch Doctor's Almanac: A Year on the Bench — 365 Days of Watches, Horology, and the Art of Keeping Time","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery watch is a witness — quietly keeping time for a life it can never tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first wristwatch to the Moonwatch, from pocket watches in the trenches to the quartz revolution that nearly ended it all, every single day of the year holds a story about how we learned to keep time. The Watch Doctor gathers 365 of them — one for each turn of the calendar — told with warmth, curiosity, and not a trace of snobbery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpen it to today's date and read a page. You'll meet the steel Patek that sold for thirty-one million dollars, the aviator's watch the size of an alarm clock, the humble Timex that outlived the company that mocked it. You'll learn why a gilt dial glows, what a balance wheel actually does, and how a stopped watch comes back to life on a watchmaker's bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you wind a vintage automatic every morning or just love a good story well told, this is a year of time, kept — a page-a-day companion for the collector, the tinkerer, and the merely curious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by Dr. Alec Hochstein — a doctor who became a watchmaker, and the maker of Tick Tock Tracker, the app built for people who actually wear their watches. A portion of every copy supports Dance Party for Parkinson's.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67902608081141,"sku":"YSL49866","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/71RrA6OcxmL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793437487","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0h92r8gls","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
