Journey via time with this superbly photographed historical past of 90 iconic watches

“Behind a watch there are sometimes hidden tales. Tales of those that made it and those that wore it. From the watchmaker to the diver, from the astronaut to the collector, from father to son – from purchaser to thief even – a watch doesn’t age. As it’s handed on and, because it travels, from the Joux valley in Switzerland to the salesroom, from the depths of the ocean to the moon, and from the pages of a list to these of this e book, a watch solely features in substance.”

From mechanical watches to chronographs, quartz watches to divers’, Distinctive Watches will transport you thru time, uncovering the histories behind essentially the most coveted watch fashions. Collector Clément Mazarian of Assortment Personelle tells the tales of 90 era-defining watches from the early 1900s as much as the current day, each meticulously catalogued and accompanied by a shocking picture from celebrated photographer Henry Leutwyler. Illustrated technical pages clearly clarify the mechanics of those timepieces, whereas profiles of the watches give readers perception into their cultural histories. Distinctive Watches is a treasure trove for collectors and lovers alike.

Featured fashions embrace:
– Rolex Submariner
– Swatch Moonswatch
– Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso
– Cartier Santos-Dumont
– TAG Heuer Monaco
– Philippe Patek C alatrava
