Man and His Watch

A Man and His Watch explores the deeply personal histories carried by 76 remarkable timepieces, gathered through Matthew Hranek’s interviews and access to private collections. Original photography accompanies stories spanning historic milestones, family memories and enduring friendships. Among them are Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona, Franklin Roosevelt’s gold Tiffany watch, JFK’s inaugural Omega and Sir Edmund Hillary’s Rolex associated with the first summit of Mount Everest. Moving beyond watches as objects of status, the book considers their emotional significance as treasured heirlooms, meaningful gifts and companions to extraordinary lives, presenting horology through the people and moments behind each piece.
