Description

For the aspiring mechanical watch collector, this casual yet insightful overview is the perfect introduction.

The wristwatches presented come from well-known, outstanding Swiss companies, as well as the resurgent German luxury watch industry in Glashütte.

Learn everything you need to know about Patek Phillipe, Maurice Lacroix, Blancpain, Tag Heuer, Zenith, A.

Lang & Sohne, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and more. Lose yourself in descriptions and histories of fourteen of the most interesting and precise complications and variations, including the regulator dial and the moon phase display, while avoiding the obscure watchmaking terminology found in other texts.

Venture into the International Watch Company Museum, a building equally as stunning as the watches themselves, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.

More than 100 beautiful photos and lively prose make this compact volume an exciting read.

At the end of the tour, receive expert collecting and fashion tips, including suggestions on what outfits to wear with certain timepieces.
