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, features 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.
