The early 2000s were an important period, spanning a time when mechanical watches had quite rightly retaken their place in the world market. We all may have a digital device in our pocket that is more accurate than a mechanical watch, but a timepiece has soul, personality, and history. The collection in this book is a step into the world of vintage watch collecting. • Over 100 vintage watches, their restoration, and their histories • A range of photographs • Intricate research • Accessible reference material • Showcases some of the most interesting, luxurious, and functional 20th-century (1930–1980) mechanical timepieces ever to be produced, including Heuer’s Autavia, Rolex’s Submariner, Gallet’s MultiChron, Zenith’s De Luca, and the Universal Space Compax This book and the watches within will intrigue both the casual and avid enthusiast. Alistair Thomas Gibbons grew up in Liverpool, England, and trained as a “special-effects editor” in London and worked in Hong Kong and Germany during the 1990s. As a watch collector, he opened his ATG Vintage Watches Forum website in 2002, offering fully restored and serviced watches in excellent condition from little-known brands that by the turn of the 20th century had become a distant memory. He lives in Bristol, England, with his two sons, Luke and Jack. A celebration of some of the world’s most exclusive and creative watches, featuring 150 brands. Welcome to a celebration of alternatively designed wrist- and pocket watches, which honors innovative craftsmanship within the world of modern horology. The 150 different brands featured in this unique book each have a double-page spread dedicated to rare, specially selected timepieces. Featured manufacturers include Patek Philippe, Jaeger LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Chopard, Tag Heuer, and Hublot. There is also a broad selection of avant- garde watchmakers like MB&F, Urwerk, and DeBethune. The design and technical information of each watch, ranging from simple to elaborate, is described in this lavish showcase of mostly high-end watch brands. A wristwatch made entirely of wooden parts, a timepiece designed after a Ferrari engine, and other one-of-a-kind movements are just a few examples of the stunning variety of alternatively conceived men’s and unisex watches. Many have not appeared in print before. This collection should appeal to both watch lovers and aficionados of good design. With a passion for design, Steve Huyton became interested in mechanical watches from an early age. He established a successful website called Total Watch Reviews and subsequently wrote articles for many high-profile international magazines.
