The book covers the details and technical wonders of 60 wristwatch models that went down in history for their innovation in shapes, materials, and production methods.

Time is a great mystery. A changeable element, which expands or vanishes, but that appears concrete as it is marked by the passing of seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years. The path toward the capture of minutes and seconds coincided with the phases of scientific evolution that allowed man to manufacture watches that are increasingly reliable, but that are also in tune with changes in customs, social needs, and aesthetic canons.

This book covers the art of watch manufactory as well as 60 great models, covering both their technical evolution and style trends. In each chapter in-depth studies will guide the reader to the history of the most important manufacturers, the personalities linked to the models treated, technical innovations, styles of the period, or records achieved by the wristwatches: from the watch that helped Charles Lindbergh during the first transatlantic solo flight, to the one worn by Sir Edmund Hillary on the top of Mount Everest, the most iconic models will be discussed in detail.

About the Author:

- Renowned wristwatch expert and historian Gisbert Brunner generously shares his unparalleled expertise in the field
- This exceptional volume is both a significant historical record and a visual extravaganza
- An impeccable gift for the serious watch collector, or anyone who aspires to be one

 Few objects combine function, elegance, and status as well as a wristwatch. One’s choice of chronograph reveals a great deal because it shows the value we place on the most precious resource of all-time. A blend of precise mechanics, craftsmanship, fine materials, and innovation distinguishes the truly superlative examples. In The Watch Book, readers can feast their eyes and minds on a magnificently-illustrated and well-documented chronicle of the world’s best timepieces.

First, we’re treated to a brief discussion on the meaning of time and its measurement by ticking sets of gears and hands. Next we delve into 18 premium manufacturers, including Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Cartier.

These biographies of the most important names in top-end timekeeping trace the progressive development from their earliest days right up to the latest innovations and current models. We explore just what makes these houses outstanding, learning about the remarkable breakthroughs that established them as the crème de la crème of the European watch industry.

About the Authors:

Gisbert Brunner, born in 1947, has been working with wristwatches, pendulum clocks, and other precision timekeeping instruments since 1964. During the quartz watch crisis in the 1970s, he discovered a new love for mechanical timepieces as well. His talent and passion for collecting chronographs led him to publish his first articles on the subject in magazines including GQ, ZEIT Magazin and Chronos in the 1980s. He has since written more than 20 books about every aspect of the field.

Munich-based journalist and author Christian Pfeiffer-Belli is Editor-in-Chief of the German antique watch magazine Klassik Uhren (Classic Watches). He needs no hobbies, having turned his profession into his passion. He accepted his first publishing job in 1965 at Callwey in Munich. Since 1976, he has built the publisher’s range of timepiece titles and overseen the publication of about 50 books in this area. He was then hired by the Ebner publishing house in Ulm after Ebner purchased the watch magazine from Callwey. Established in 1978, Klassik Uhren appears every other month as the only German-language magazine that deals exclusively with old watches. Pfeiffer-Belli sold his private library to Ebner; with about 9,000 titles, it is without a doubt the most extensive private German book collection on watches in existence. Pfeiffer-Belli also has a very large photo archive from which he supplied the photos for The Watch Book.

The next volume in the successful Watch Book series by bestselling author Gisbert L. Brunner

In this new volume of the Watch Book series, successful author Gisbert L. Brunner focuses on Swiss watch history and the watch industry, and in particular on the house of Oris, because what could be a more fitting connection than that of the leading expert when it comes to mechanical timepieces with the watch manufactory that is one of the few to produce exclusively mechanical watches. Founded in 1904, the company stands out in many ways in the luxury world of horology, it is run independently and not by a large corporation, it is valued as a down-to-earth brand and - in an industry that is not necessarily known for this - it focuses on sustainability, true to the motto: "Things have to make sense".

Of course, technology should not be missing from this volume; after all, Oris has developed 280 different calibres in its company history and manufactured them in its own factories. Companions have their say and the best watch models of the company's almost 120-year history are presented in this usual high-quality volume.

- The first coffee table book dedicated to the Swiss manufacturer Oris, makers of innovative mechanical watches for close to 120 years
- An amazing look behind the curtain at the Swiss watch industry and its history, shaped by contrasts
