I just received the hardbound test copy on 9-20-2022, pictured below.
Mass printing is scheduled for October of 2022.
I expect to ship book orders in December of 2022.
This is Stan Czubernat's 3rd book in his "Trench Watches of the Great War" series.
341 pages will document that Charles Leon Depollier truly created the world's first waterproof wrist watch with
the 1918 Waltham Depollier "Field & Marine" Waterproof Watch followed closely by the 1919 Waltham Depollier
"THERMO" Waterproof Watch. The 4 different waterproof crown designs developed in the house of Depollier
during the Great War years will be covered in detail. Evidence included is the complete trial transcript of the
1919 lawsuit between Charles Depollier vs Mortimer Golden. This is Charles Depollier's fascinating first hand
account of how he developed waterproof wrist watch technology 8 years before Rolex in cooperation with
high ranking officers of the United States Army Signal Corps Engineering & Research Division.
Depollier's waterproof wrist watch case was independently tested in Washington D.C. by the United States
National Bureau of Standards for its waterproof ability, it passed their tests with flying colors. All paper
lawsuit exhibits from both parties are included, every page. Two official United States War Department
reports corroborate Depollier's sworn court testimony. In one of these reports Two Star Major General George
Squier informs the United States Secretary of War , Mr. Newton Baker, that the "watch could actually run for
several weeks under water". Mr. Baker reported directly to President Woodrow Wilson. You will also read the
correspondence of high ranking. U.S. Army officers discussing Depollier's waterproof wrist watch technology and
how it would solve many of their problems in 1918. Also included are the Waltham Depollier trench watch
advertisements and the non-waterproof Waltham Depollier military watches produced during the Great War era.
