The Book of Beauty is Beaton's unashamed paean to the beauty of the women who inhabit his world. The book is inspired by books of beauty published in the Victorian period and by his childhood fascination with the theatricality and glamour of the opposite sex. Photographs of women are accompanied by flowery descriptions. Sitters include Baba and Nancy Beaton, Edith Sitwell, Tallulah Bankhead, Tilly Losch, Nancy Cunard and Lady Diana Cooper. The whole captures the wit, intelligence and spirit of the modern women.

The Book of Beauty is a 1930 book by Cecil Beaton, his first published book of photographs. In his concept of beauty, Beaton, with sketches and photographs, highlights actresses such as Tallulah Bankhead and Anna May Wong but also modernist literary figures like Edith Sitwell and Nancy Cunard.

Accuracy beyond belief!
This watch houses ETA's newest entry level movement [C07.111] Powermatic 80. It is so accurate it shows up as one solid line on my Otto Frei Timegrapher! And its seconds per day readings are 0 and +1 throughout the entire reading. Only two things stop this beauty from getting 5 starts. First, as pretty as it is it is still just average when compared to similarly priced watches. Secondly, the pallet fork and balance is made as a throw away module and basically non repairable. It is made of a plastic material and to date has no history to go by in determining longevity. For the money buy it! For the collector give it a few more years of study...

Stunning watch!! Purchased for my boyfriend for his birthday. He is a bigger guy with a larger arm/wrist so the size of this watch looks great on him. He receives a ton of compliments on it, and it still catches my eye every time he wears it. Decent weight without being too heavy (he reports). Perfect to wear as a daily watch or dress up with
