Every year brings hundreds of new wristwatch designs, with aesthetic and
mechanical changes and improvements, limited edition watches, and new
producers, keeping this field exciting for collectors. Following the
success of last year's book, the new annual features over 1,700 of the
world's most luxurious wristwatches and provides color photographs and
complete specifications for each watch. With Wristwatch Annual,
collectors have a wealth of information close at hand: the book is
arranged alphabetically by producer, and within each producer's section
are specifications and materials for each watch, including price,
movement, special features, complications, case, dial, band, and
available variations of a particular model. A glossary and pronunciation
guide help acclimate the reader to the world of fine timepieces, and,
for prospective buyers, the addresses of all featured producers are
listed together.
The elegant photography and layout will encourage people to peruse the
year's offerings for aesthetic appeal as well. The range of styles, from
classic to modern, reflects the inclusive nature of this book, which
watch collectors around the world will find both a handy reference and
required reading.
