There is an excellent book about JW's watches and the rivalry with Henry Graves to build the greatest collection of the greatest timepieces. The book is titled "A Grand Complication, The Race to Build the World's Most Legendary Watch", by Stacy Perman. Excellent reading and some details on JW's early professional life not found elsewhere to my knowledge.
