Watches
International: Volume VI
Since 1991, this annual publication has been setting the
standard for up-to-date reference guides devoted to watches.
At over 500 pages (the largest volume yet), Watches International
Volume VI showcases all the latest watches from around the
world, from every major designer, including Audemars Piguet,
Bulgari, Chopard, Ebel Longines, Omega, Patek Philippe,
and TAG Heuer. Several hundred beautiful and meticulous
full-color photographs not only show the watches’
style and exquisiteness, but also?and perhaps most importantly?the
watches’ details such as movements, functions, case,
dial and shape. The text gives an overview of each of the
new watches’ histories. Technical descriptions, most
with retail prices, make this a must-have reference for
everyone who loves timepieces personally or needs to know
about them professionally. This is the most comprehensive
and current guide one can buy.
