Not a watch in this book under $800 and many go over $10,000. Very good reference if you feel you may be looking at a fake.

Beautiful pictures along with concise decriptions.

Read and drool.

Simply the best non-internet guide to what wrist watches are available in the market.

Unfortunately not all models of any particular brand are covered. So this can only be used as a general guide to the Swiss and German brands.

I found the catalog very limited. A review should include all products available from a manufacturer or list variations of products displayed. For example, a watch made of stainless steel is also available and not just white gold.

After years of buying the equivalent in French and German, this is definitely the best guide, very complete, very well written. The prices are in US$, though. The most expensive watch, a Vacheron Constantin. 1.6 million dollars, production is limited to 7 watches. The mind boggles!

In an annual catalogue of watches I would expectt to see all the models produced in the world in that year, either gents or ladies, expensive ones or poor man watch.
But here you won't definitely find them.
Here you will see ONLY expensive European gents watches. And not even the Grand Seiko. Is it a watch catalogue? No, it is only pure advertising. The worse one.

A wonderful resource book, exhaustive coverage of big and small wristwatch producers. This is a commercial book and all company's are written about favorably (not reality). One is best to research products/reviews online in addition to get a true picture of the products represented in this book. This is the best in my opinion of the watch annual books.

The strengths are: clear listing of all watch specs, often interesting blurb about each company, pronunciation list, company contact info, additional resource list (forums, dealers, etc.). Annual does not change that much yearly, might try buying last years annual and saving about 50% for very similar content.

Enjoy this wonderfully rich subject.

Of course you can't include everything, but these annuals usually have some glaring omissions of watch lines, particularly American made.

I found this annual to help me with all my sales products and a great study guide. I would highly recomend it to anyone to keep up with the industry. Of interest to read, but a better source for information and sales...

Stunning photographs, beautifully printed, and a pleasure to read. I'm looking forward to the next issue.

I really enjoyed this annual of watches. I am an admirer of elegant watches and this manual was able to depict those models as well as estimated prices.

I was also pleased with the prompt delivery and condition of my book when it arrived.
