Cavalcade of Time
by Henry B. Fried. This book is a visual history of watches from the private collection of the Zale Jewelry Store Corporation. Assembled over the years by Mr. Morris B.

Many of the watches in this unusual collection are extremely rare. A number of these watches are forerunners of modern day counterparts and their value in this sense cannot be estimated. Nearly all of the watches are hand crafted by the finest watchmakers of their time. They show the technical progress as well as the typical period example, the different, the beautiful, and the precise. 126 pages. Hard cover. Copyright 1968. Excellent condition.
