Beschrijving

From precious early minute repeaters by Louis Brandt & Frère and James Schulz to legendary and super-rare vintage chronographs by Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Vacheron Constantin to state-of-the-art contemporary pieces, this book is a glorious celebration of watchmaking conducted at truly virtuoso levels of timekeeping precision.

Reviews:

“A curated collection of the rarest, most significant, most breathtaking wristwatches ever made.”

“Across the volumes unfolds a narrative in which mechanical watches appear as carriers of memory, artisanal care and cultural continuity… terms such as craftsmanship, ritual, passion and duration structure the tone and perspective, lending collecting a cultural charge that extends beyond mere ownership.”

“Not simply a reference work, but a book that seeks to erect an impressive monument to the connection between art and craftsmanship.”
“A monumental archive of the craft at its pinnacle, a record of where watchmaking has been and where it’s heading next.”
Ultimate Collector Watches isn’t just a reference book. It’s an aspirational artifact — the kind of piece that invites conversation, reflection, and quiet admiration. It appeals to both seasoned horologists and newcomers who simply appreciate design done right.”

“Across 960 pages, each “grail” wristwatch is presented as both a masterpiece of craftsmanship and a chapter in the history of design.”

Ultimate Collector Watches is an important and welcome tome for all those looking to learn more about collecting vintage watches! I had a hard time putting it down once I cracked the pages.”
