Ugh.
I've had different versions of the "watch bibles" for the last 10+ years, and from now on I'll have to look at them in person before buying. These books used to be great references for the products of all the major watch manufacturers. Now it's just a glossy overview of what's new in watches. If you are into the boutique and jewelry watch brands like Cartier, Dior, and the like, this is a great book. Most of the content is dedicated to these watches, and the pictures are great. If you want a reference for Patek, Rolex, JLC, etc. Stay away. Get the manufacturers catalogs instead.

This review is from: Watches International: Volume IX (Paperback)
This publication has the "potential" for being great. However, everything seems a little incomplete. Many watches lack prices. Many of the brands are missing models of great importance. Several big companies are missing. The good thing is the brief description offered of each brand including facts and history.
