Anyone getting the "A Man & His Watch" book by Matt Hranek?
I've just ordered mine on Amazon. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Looks pretty cool, based on what I've seen on Eric Ku's and Jacek's IG. Anyone got there's yet? Thoughts on it? I love the slip case and Paul Newman's 6263 (which is now his daughter's, Clea) on the cover. Ariel Adams recently did an interview with Matt Hranek on his ABlogtoWatch YouTube channel |

I ordered it and excited to receive today (You can preview the first 25 pages online if you just google the book title)

Pre-ordered and received my copy a week ago. Really awesome read. Matt is a great writer and storyteller, and the content in the book is fantastic. If you're thinking about purchasing a copy, you definitely should!

Hodinkee's latest Friday Live YouTube video has a really good interview with Matt Hranek about his book.

Already received it as a gift from a client. Amazon delivery surprised heck out of me.

I got it last weekend and while I did think it was worth buying based on the preview (Amazon) I have to say I was even happier after receiving it. It's a nicely thought out concept, well executed and with top photography. And I think it's priced fairly too.

Wow, this looks great! Are their multiple versions of the book or just one? Amazon has it listed as $23.58. I figured it would be a large coffee table book for $100+

Just one book. It's over 200 pages. So at that price, it's a bargain! Really beautifully put together. A book that any WIS would love in their stocking for the holiday season!

You and your friend will love it Paul!
The slip case design with the crown of Paul Newman's 6263 poking out is genius! You could stare at the pictures all day... The stories behind the watches are what makes it so fascinating. |

Received it a week ago and like it a lot. Nice images and a handful of moving stories. I think I paid around ~$23, makes for great coffee table book

True. The Hodinkee interview with Matt gives a whole lot more colour and background to the stories in the book (e.g., Mario Andretti & Sylvester Stallone). The link to the YouTube clip is in my first post.

I bought the Kindle version, and IMHO it's an okay book. My expectation was high when I purchased the book, I guess I'm glad I didn't buy the print version.

I just went through the first 25 pages and learned quite a bit honestly. Some of it I'm not surprised about but did not know previously.
