Product Description
Product Description
Every year hundreds of new wristwatches are introduced. Some feature innovative designs or mechanical improvements, and others are available only in limited editions, keeping the field interesting for collectors. Following the success of the previous edition, this 2003 annual highlights hundreds of the year's most extraordinary wristwatches in close-up colour photographs accompanied by complete specifications, giving collectors a wealth of up-to-date information, all in one volume. The specifications for each watch include price, movement, special features, complications, casings, dial, band, and available variations of a particular model. In addition, general histories of each manufacturer provide an overview of the company's background and style. The annual's photography and organization should encourage readers to peruse the year's offerings watch by watch. The range of styles, from classic to modern, should appeal to watch enthusiasts the world over.

Indispensable for the watch collector!
17 Feb 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great guide to learn your way around the fascinating World of watch collecting! This book includes all the "major" players in the watch industry - but unfortunately, it does not include some of the smaller "houses" (i.e. manufacturers).
I was surprised to read that it included some non-European makers like some from the USA.
One thing I noticed is that the book has several errors, just try matching some of the photos with the descriptions provided and you'll see what I mean! For the publishers and editors: get some quality control, pleeeaaasse!
I recommend it for the beginner and the advance watch collectors.
And yes, I do agree with another reviewer, there's no such thing as too many watches! :-)

The Bible of the Watch Industry, The Best tool available
29 Dec 2003
This is an excellent tool if your a collector, admirer, in the biz or anyone considering a watch purchase. An incredible reference tool, great in helping one narrow down their likes and dislikes...my 3rd year in a row. There are a couple of others...however this one is the most objective and useful.

A great resource
17 Jun 2003
I've bought each issue since I got interested in watches in 2000, even though the contents change very little from year to year. Another shortcoming of the annual is that the price information is neither complete nor accurate - you can usually get significant discounts on many of the watches featured. Nevertheless, it is great fun just to look at, and read about watches that I can only drool over :-P
