Whether a cherished heirloom or state-of-the

art design, sensible or frivolous, the

watch people wear is often an expression of

their personality. Watches have long been

desirable collector's items, as some of the

vintage models in this book show.

Collectible Wristwatches features over 500

color photographs of watches, from rare and

valuable early models to recent designer

creations, from deep sea diver's watches

to those worn by aviators. Each photograph

is accompanied by a short text

explaining the significance of the item.

Whether you are a novice or the proud

owner of a series of beautiful

watches, this book is the perfect

source of new ideas for what to look

for next for your collection.
