Product Description

Each 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. This fourteenth edition of what has become a watch industry classic features over 1,400 of the world's most luxurious wristwatches and provides color photographs and complete specifications for each watch. With "Wristwatch Annual 2012", 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 the world over will find both a handy reference and required reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wristwatch Annual 2012:The Catalog of Producers,Prices, Models, and Specifacations., 4 Feb 2012
This review is from: Wristwatch Annual 2012: The Catalog of Producers, Prices, Models, and Specifications (Paperback)
I am doing a little research before I make a decision on what make of watch I would like to buy over the next year or two. I am drawn to Breitling and due to money constraints a used one. This book gave me more than enough information on not only Breitling but all the other quality makes which are out there. A very easy book to find what you are looking for and the photographs are excellent too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yearly Watches, 15 Feb 2012
By Luis F. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wristwatch Annual 2012: The Catalog of Producers, Prices, Models, and Specifications (Paperback)
This is my fourth year buying this guide. Has helped me save and back off from buying watches I really want, but can live without until the price is right. This is extremely important when considering collectible and heirloom worthy watches. In the 5 to 25 thousand range.....

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a great product. I just wish it was more comprehensive., 14 Feb 2012
By S. Kosloske - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wristwatch Annual 2012: The Catalog of Producers, Prices, Models, and Specifications (Paperback)
I like all the watch-jargon info, and the pics/descriptions of the movements. But I wish I knew how they decided what models to put in the catalog. Only 1 page of B&R watches? That would be OK if it only included the newest models, but it doesn't.

It's great to see many of the smaller watch houses getting some time in the catalog, there were several watches/companies I hadn't heard of before, and some I am now interested in.

And including the list prices for that watches is a requirement, nice to see that. Of course, some are "price on request", but that is to be expected for the unique and million dollar models.
