13.02.2009, Dear Konrad. We have just got back from South Africa and New Zealand.
Had to collect a package from the post office. Imagine my suprise when I
opened it and saw your magnificant book. I immediately got into
reading the introduction. I have been working my way through the chapters - not
of a size for reading in bed! The photographs are certainly most impresive,and the
writing clear, concise and infomative. I am amazed you have put it all together in
such a short time. It goes to show what a boon this digital age has given us.
Best wishes Paul, Uxbridge UK

Feb 27, 2009 Konrad,
I have just had an opporunity to sit down and study your new book in detail. Wow,
it is a most impressive book, full of rich illustrations, orginal documents and supporting
data. There must be more British timepieces than German equivalents as the number of
pages is significatly more than your book on German military timepieces.
I think that this book is now the must have for information on this subject.

27.02.2009, Hi Konrad,
I don't really know what to say except ........ thank you for such a great book! For
many people it will be the bible of british military timepieces for many years to
come and my favorite book for even longer; it's well written and full of interesting
information, one thing I really like is the great photos of watches in use, aircraft,
ships and other things usually not seen in a book such as this. To you Konrad I
wish the very best of luck with to book and for your future.
Best regards John Asker Norway

08.03.2009, Hello Konrad
Although somewhat late, this is to thank you very much for the copy of your
book which arrived safely just as I was leaving. While I was away I had the
chance to spend some time looking through it, and I really must congratulate
you on the production of a landmark book. It certainly covers all aspects
of British Military Timepieces in great detail and much more, and I am certain
it will very quickly become recognized as the prime source of information on
the subject. Currently I am planning to show it and talk about it at our next
NAWCC Ottawa Chapter meeting at the end of March, and also perhaps at
a couple of other Eastern Canada Chapter meetings during the summer.
Thank you once again. Ben Roberts Ottawa Canada

31.03.2009, Lieber Herr Dr. Knirim,
gestern ist Ihr schwerer Brocken unbeschädigt eingetroffen. Ich danken
Ihnen ganz herzlich dafür und bewundere die viele Pionierarbeit die Sie
sich wieder gemacht haben. Ich habe alles an die Seite gelegt und erst einmal
ganz gespannt geblättert, gelesen und darüber gestaunt was es alles
gegeben hat. Es wird mich immer wieder beschäftigen, endlich ein Nachschlagewerk
zu diesem Thema. Herzlichen Glückwunsch dazu, ich bin begeistert.
Herzliche Grüße Henning, Hamburg Deutschland

02.08.2009 Guten Tag Herr Knirim
letzte Woche hat mir mein Buchhändler Ihr neues Buch British Military
Timepieces ausgeliefert. Das Ding ist ein Hammer. Die Bildqualität und die
Vielfalt der abgebildeten Uhren ist umwerfend und die gebotene Fülle der
Information einmalig. Erstmals habe ich darin z.B. Uhren mit Markierungen
HS5-HS10 gesehen; üblicherweise sind nur HS1 - HS4 erwähnt und abgebildet.
Am andern Ende der Skala ist erstmals die Bezeichnung GSTP plausibel aufgelöst. ...
Freundliche Grüsse aus der Schweiz: René, Cham

I am already the proud owner of Konrad's German Timepieces book, and I
ordered the British book. It arrived in fine condition. I have already given it
a quick look, and the book is gorgeous. I have already found that all my
British timepieces are covered, even the black Smiths seen on page 391.
-Unfortunately, this book will surely stimulate my lust for additional British
timepieces. (one of my coworkers saw me smiling as I opened the box, and
then wryly commented I had received a book of "clock porn". Well, not quite.
I will really enjoy inspecting Konrad's new book more closely during the
Thanksgiving break. Ron, Kansas City USA

31.8.2011 Dear mr. Knirim,
what can I say, your book is fascinating. Whats more it helped me to identify my
"L&S Kriegsmarine chronometer". In fact it is early postwar Glashutte production.
If it is not problem for you can I send you some photos to confirm my identification.
Besides that I wonder iof you can recomand me somebody to fix my chronometer,
main spring seems to be broken. Thank you.
Kind regards dr. S. Gustincic, Zagreb Croatia
