Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Every year brings hundreds of new wristwatch designs, with aesthetic and mechanical changes and improvements, limited edition watches, and new producers keeping this field exciting for collectors. Following the success of last year's book, this new annual features over 1,700 of the world's most luxurious wristwatches and provides color photographs and complete specifications for each watch. With "Wristwatch Annual", collectors have a wealth of information close at hand: the book is arranged alphabetically by producer, and within each producer's section are specifications and materials for each watch, including price, movement, special features, complications, case, dial, band, and available variations of a particular model. The elegant photography and layout will encourage people to peruse the year's offerings for aesthetic appeal as well. The range of styles, from classic to modern, reflects the inclusive nature of this book, which watch collectors the world over will find both a handy reference and required reading. A glossary and a pronunciation guide help acclimate the reader to the world of fine timepieces, and, for prospective buyers, the addresses of all featured producers are listed together.

About the Author
Peter Braun is editor-in-chief of Germany's renowned wristwatch magazine, Armbanduhren.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Wish Book, January 5, 2006
By MagnumMan (Florida) - See all my reviews
  
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Essential, January 7, 2006
By Miran Ali (Dhaka, Bangladesh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Products available , August 10, 2006
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good compilation, but not very complete
Of course you can't include everything, but these annuals usually have some glaring omissions of watch lines, particularly American made.
