A Little About This Book

This volume provides a connoisseurial roundup of the world’s ultimate watches, from early aviators’ timepieces by the likes of Longines to legendary vintage chronographs by, among others, Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Audemars Piguet to state-of-the-art contemporary pieces. Also included are horological masterworks by the legendary George Daniels and his prodigy, Roger W. Smith, as well as other celebrated independent watchmakers, including Philippe Dufour, François-Paul Journe, Kari Voutilainen, and Rexhep Rexhepi. The fifty astonishingly valuable wristwatches showcased in this meticulously curated and beautifully illustrated book provide a rare insight into the sublime artistry and complex engineering of haute horlogerie. This title also gives an unparalleled historical overview of luxury watchmaking, from its pocket-watch origins to today’s revival of interest in bespoke, handcrafted timepieces. Featuring 50 magnificent “grail” wristwatches, their fascinating design-and-development backstories are expertly recounted, alongside page-after-page of sublime imagery specially generated by the world’s leading watch photographers. Also included are rare archival treasures, from design sketches and technical drawings to superb period advertisements and photographs.
