NEW MAGS Exceptional Watches

Travel Through Time with This Beautifully Photographed History of 90 Iconic Watches "Behind every watch, there are often hidden stories. Stories of those who made it and those who wore it. From the watchmaker to the diver, from the astronaut to the collector, from father to son – and even from buyer to thief – a watch does not age. As it is passed on, traveling from the Joux valley in Switzerland to the salesroom, from the depths of the ocean to the moon, and from the pages of a catalog to this book, a watch only gains in substance." From mechanical watches to chronographs, quartz watches to divers', Exceptional Watches takes you on a journey through time, uncovering the histories behind the most coveted watch models. Collector Clément Mazarian of Collection Personelle shares the stories of 90 era-defining watches, spanning from the early 1900s to the present day. Each timepiece is meticulously cataloged and accompanied by stunning imagery from celebrated photographer Henry Leutwyler. Illustrated technical pages offer clear explanations of these watches' mechanics, while profiles delve into their cultural significance. Exceptional Watches is a treasure trove for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Featured models include: - Rolex Submariner - Swatch Moonswatch - Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso - Cartier Santos-Dumont - TAG Heuer Monaco - Patek Philippe Calatrava - Omega Flightmaster
