THE Most Complete Reference Source
29 Jan 2007
Do not expect to find quartz electronic watches from the orient here. This is a catalog of the finest in traditional watch design from Europe, primarily Switzerland, Germany and France. Here are watches that are the ultimate in design, both mechanically and artistically. They are also the ultimate in price, intended for the well to do who wants to make a fashion statement that is also a supurb timekeeper. (I don't know the most expensive watch in the book, but the highest priced one I found was $783,100.)
The book is organized by manufacturer and gives the highlights of their current product line. It is profusely illusteated with color photographs on virtually every page. Of course not every watch of every manufacturer could be included on a book of any size. But then again, that's what the web is for.
This is an annual publication, and the material in this book is current for this year, reflecting the hundreds of new designs that came to market. Most of the material comes from the manufacturers so is rather self serving. Still this is the most complete reference book on the subject.

Good book for high-end watches
9 Nov 2007
This is book is great. It lists a lot of world high-end watches from 2007. Although I don't have money to buy them now. At least I can look at it as a gallary book.
