2 out of 5 stars A limited value catalogue   October 6, 2009
Triggiani Emanuele (Italy)
In an annual catalogue of watches I would expectt to see all the models produced in the world in that year, either gents or ladies, expensive ones or poor man watch.
But here you won't definitely find them.
Here you will see ONLY expensive European gents watches. And not even the Grand Seiko. Is it a watch catalogue? No, it is only pure advertising. The worse one.



5 out of 5 stars Great Reference   August 11, 2007
Sigmund F. (United States)
A wonderful resource book, exhaustive coverage of big and small wristwatch producers. This is a commercial book and all company's are written about favorably (not reality). One is best to research products/reviews online in addition to get a true picture of the products represented in this book. This is the best in my opinion of the watch annual books.

The strengths are: clear listing of all watch specs, often interesting blurb about each company, pronunciation list, company contact info, additional resource list (forums, dealers, etc.). Annual does not change that much yearly, might try buying last years annual and saving about 50% for very similar content.

Enjoy this wonderfully rich subject.



4 out of 5 stars Pretty good compilation, but not very complete   July 9, 2007
S. Kosloske (Milwaukee, WI USA)
Of course you can't include everything, but these annuals usually have some glaring omissions of watch lines, particularly American made.

I found the catalog very limited. A review should include all products available from a manufacturer or list variations of products displayed. For example, a watch made of stainless steel is also available and not just white gold.


5 out of 5 stars The best guide in the market   June 29, 2006

After years of buying the equivalent in French and German, this is definitely the best guide, very complete, very well written. The prices are in US$, though. The most expensive watch, a Vacheron Constantin. 1.6 million dollars, production is limited to 7 watches. The mind boggles!
