I’m only through the first 15 pages and I’m very impressed! The photos and more importantly the stories behind each watch makes this book a must for any watch collector or just a watch lover!

Absolutely beautiful book!…
I ‘ve been a watch nut most of my life and am mostly attracted to high-end timepieces that only the upper crust can easily afford. This book definitely scratches my itch!!!

This is a fascinating book, both in photography and text.
This book is breathtaking in its photography and the text is compelling! This book is beautifully written. The photography is fantastic. This is the best coffee table book I have ever seen. Even if you have no interest in wrist watches at all, this would be a gripping book. This book is about important watches and the owners who wore them. It is also about the circumstances in which the watches were worn.

Excellent photography
This book covers a large range of watches which makes it a good book. Sadly the background on every page is black which I did not care for. However the paper it is published on is very nice and higher quality than many

Splendido è l’unico aggettivo che si può usare per descrivere questo libro.Il volume è di grandi dimensioni e molto pesante (per la carta di ottima qualità usata nella stampa). E’ diviso in tre sezioni: Stars At Auction (selezione di alcuni tra gli orologi di maggior successo nelle aste per collezionisti – Rolex, Patek Philippe, altri Rolex, altri Patek Philippe…), Watchmaking At The Highest Level (una selezione tra gli orologi di alta gamma – Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin), Watches For Heroes (orologi indossati da persone famose o in eventi importanti – Omega, Rolex, ancora Omega, ancora Rolex…). Ogni orologio è presentato con una breve descrizione e con fotografie impeccabili.Non è un libro per chi vuole informazioni tecniche esaustive (per questo ci sono altri volumi) o per chi vuole conoscere i movimenti e le complicazioni. Non ha la pretesa di presentare tutti gli orologi che dovrebbero essere presenti in ciascuna delle tre categorie sopra descritte. E’ una piccola selezione a discrezione dell’autore, presentata in modo impeccabile e arricchita dal sapere di due mostri sacri quali Aurel Bacs e Jean-Claude Biver.A mio giudizio un libro da avere e leggere assolutamente insieme ad altri più tecnici.
