Also included are horological masterworks by the legendary George Daniels and his prodigy, Roger W. Smith, as well as other celebrated independent watchmakers, including Philippe Dufour, François-Paul Journe, Kari Voutilainen, and Rexhep Rexhepi. The one hundred astonishingly valuable wristwatches showcased in this meticulously curated and beautifully illustrated book provide a rare insight into the sublime artistry and complex engineering of haute horlogerie. This title also gives an unparalleled historical overview of luxury watchmaking, from its pocket-watch origins to today’s revival of interest in bespoke, handcrafted timepieces. Featuring 100 magnificent “grail” wristwatches, their fascinating design-and-development backstories are expertly recounted, alongside page-after-page of sublime imagery specially generated by the world’s leading watch photographers. Also included are rare archival treasures, from design sketches and technical drawings to superb period advertisements and photographs. Plus in-depth interviews with leading authorities from the watchmaking and collecting worlds, including Patrick Getreide (OAK Collection), Alexandre Ghotbi (Phillips), Ben Clymer (Hodinkee), Roger W. Smith (watchmaker), Auro Montanari (renowned collector), and Silas Walton (A Collected Man).
