Good Sources to Learn about Watches?

[rfath]

*sigh*

I hate feeling like an idiot when I walk into a store and know nothing about what I've brought in. The latest was a watch... so I'm interested in learning about watch history, the various makers, etc.

I want to know more about what we've been given. Apparently it's very special and I'm sorry that I hadn't previously appreciated it.

I got a severe lecture from the clerk/watch nut about it, too...

Any suggestions for resources for learning about watches?

Thanks!
