My library doesn't have it yet
but ordered it for me. Time Eternal, by Mitch Katz.
About a professor who has an invention that could change watchmaking forever.
He wants to release it to the world,others want to own it, keep it from the public, or steal it.
Should be quite entertaining, when I eventually get it.
Why can I not copy and paste here??

From the author of Time on My Hands: A Journey in the World of Watch Collecting comes an international mystery.
When time itself is the prize, no one plays by the rules, and brilliance doesn’t guarantee safety.
A genius inventor.
A world-changing secret.
A deadly countdown.
John Harrison has spent years hidden in plain sight: an unassuming professor, a man more at ease with his dog than with people. But behind the closed door of his workshop lies an invention that could change watchmaking forever. He wants to release it freely to the world. Others want to own it, bury it, or steal it.
From Swiss boardrooms desperate to survive, to Manhattan towers built on ambition, powerful forces are moving against him. As whispers turn to threats, and loyalty becomes deadly, John finds himself at the center of a struggle he never sought.
Break-ins. Betrayals. Murder. Everyone wants his invention. No one plays fair.
Time doesn’t wait. And John’s is running out.
Sweeping across continents and into the secretive world of luxury timepieces, Time Eternal is a suspenseful, deeply human story of invention, obsession, and the price of genius.

"Why can I not copy and paste here??"
What are you trying to copy and paste? And, are you trying this on the iOS app or on a browser?
Was trying to copy and paste the description of this
book from a website, The toolbar is there to do it, it just won't allow me to do it. I have tried before with no luck.
It's a good read.
The premise seems plauisible and the book strikes a nice balance in thst watch enthusiasts and those that tolerate us would both enjoy it. I did.
Thanks Thomas. I enjoyed writing this first novel in what will be a series of novels that revolve around the watch world. Of note, as stated, one does not need to have any knowledge
about watches to read the book. My 95 year old mother-in-law is angry with me because she stays up late reading the book. She has not a clue about watches. And yes, the novel is based on a real movement development 20 + years ago. Hope you all enjoy it. T...
WARNING: Reading Mitch’s books can be hazardous to your health
Especially if your life as a watch collector is interesting, because he will add a murderer into it and write a novel about you ☠️ 😵
I am looking for those interested in being in a novel - if someone is interested then I need to know if they are willing to be murdered.
I do have a growing list of those interested. Beware, the volunteer's exit might not be pretty. Mitch
