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 companies' background and style. Wristwatch Annual also showcases the wristwatch of the year, an honor bestowed by popular vote on the watch that best combines mechanical and aesthetic value.

The annual's elegant photography and organization will encourage readers to peruse the years offerings watch by watch. And the range of styles, from classic to modern, will appeal to watch enthusiasts the world over, who will find this current edition both a handy reference and required reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reading for watch fans - don't expect miracles though, March 26, 2000
This review is from: Wristwatch Annual 2000 (Paperback)
This book is tremendous value, with great pictures of the fine watch brands current ranges. Potential buyers should not expect too much in the way of detailed technical information however. If you treat it as a reasonably comprehensive, non-biased catalogue for some fine Swiss watch brands, you wont go far wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for the dealers, January 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wristwatch Annual 2000 (Paperback)
The 2000 update to this annual "catalog" has had a few improvements over the past years. It has never been a complete guide much less a thorough guide for those wanting to know a comprehensive resource of modern higher-grade watches. Information and pictures are limited at best. The author simply gives one a synopsis view of more important modern timepieces. The annual guide does serve as an invaluable resource to those who are in 'the Biz'. The "Catalog" does a great job of detailing watch movement manufacturers and thier products.
