内容简介

A watch follows its owner wherever he or she goes, immediately revealing its owner s taste, financial means, and attention to the wheels of time. Over the past ten years, watches, once merely functional tools, have become true objects of desire. Whether fashion accessories or collectors pieces, the watches available today span all sectors, from mass-market to luxury. With an increase in the number of trademarks, collections, and styles, the market for watches is growing annually and offering such a vast selection that it is increasingly difficult to understand it and to make one s own choice. Auctions abound, offering astounding, and somewhat confusing, new records: $3.4 million, for example, for a Patek Philippe watch in 2008.

After the success of her first edition, Fabienne Reybaud, the French specialist, updated this book for today s market, using her expertise to help us choose.
