Overview

The essential guide for the collector of mechanical wristwatches, with complete information on over 1,400 models from some 130 international brands

With Wristwatch Annual, collectors have at hand a wealth of information on the latest offerings from today’s most important watch producers, from Swiss mainstays like Rolex and Patek Philippe to the maverick independent brands springing up across Europe and the U.S. The book is arranged alphabetically by producer, and the movement, functions, case, band, price, and variations of each pictured watch are fully described.
 
This year’s edition, like its predecessors, will feature a variety of additional articles on independent watchmaking, key personalities in the watch world, and the technical aspects of horology. An illustrated glossary and a primer on watch care help acclimate the reader to the world of fine timepieces.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for previous editions of Wristwatch Annual:



“An absolute staple in any serious collector’s regular reading material.”


―TheWatchLounge.com



“Wristwatch Annual . . . covers models and specs of fine watches . . . but it is the unusual makers, all with text describing company characteristics, that make the large softcover especially interesting.”


―Arizona Daily Star



“An invaluable source of information for anyone who wants a thorough survey of the new additions to the market.”


―Plaza Watch
