Working in a bookshop I stumbled across this new release:




Retro Watches - The Modern Collectors' Guide

Thats what the publisher writes:
"Retro Watches is a collector’s guide for those who want to make a statement with the watch they wear, but who are looking for something a little different. It collects the most intriguing, visually striking, and out-there watch designs from little-known but influential watch brands, along with overlooked but brilliant pieces from the major players. Over one hundred watch models are featured, specially photographed for the book and accompanied by accessible, informative texts discussing the watch’s design, history, and intriguing features, as well as info panels detailing rarity, value, and other key attributes. Additional breakout spreads dive into the cultural and fashion history of watch design and the many innovations of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s."

Book will be released in June, 256 pages with 400 colour illustrations

German edition is available as well

Please don't order at Amazon, support your local book dealer! 😀

The cynical side of me says, "that's one way to make your accumulation more valuable."

Mitch Greenblatt ( @horolovox on instagram ) has been collecting way-out watches for a number of years and has an amazing collection. I'm going to get this book. Should be a visual feast of fantastic pieces.
