Wristwatch Annual 2016: The Catalog of Producers, Prices, Models, and Specifications

Decent Book.I wouldn't call it ideal.... Citizen, Bulova, Casio are not in there.... Only a very brief blurb on Seiko, a company 20 years older than Rolex....Nothing about Christopher Ward, either, which I think is odd.... Definitely a luxury watch that seems like it belongs with the others in this book...That being said, it is a great coffee table book, and a lot of fun to flip through, just to see the offerings, read about these companies, see what the prices are really like for some of these pieces....The illustrations are delightful. Well written by Mr. Braun. Very high quality book. Very heavy glossy paper, nice binding, vivid color photos, high production value is maintained throughout. This is not a magazine, it is a real book.I guess I would say, if you are really interested in Swiss luxury watches, like from Oris on up, then this book is definitely for you.... If you prefer Japanese luxury, they are mostly ignored.Even in the Swiss, quite honestly, A company like Victorinox, who make the Swiss Army Knives, and watches, and other gear.... Very brief coverage. Which is too bad. Victorinox is a decent company that offers hundreds & hundreds of watches, at a whole plethora of price points.... I'd be interested to read more, see some pictures....To be fair, I should say, to me, you can buy a VERY nice Swiss or Japanese watch in the $200-$400 range, US. So, when I say "luxury watch", I am saying, $500 and up. There are lots of Japanese and Swiss choices in that range as well, that are worthy, in my humble opinion. I think if we asked Mr Braun, he feels that a worthwhile watch starts at $1500, and goes up until you get to "good" watches...That being said, this is a "Dream" book. It is fun to look at Patek Phillipe watches in wonderful detail, and see the prices.... I understand completely that that is part of the point of this book. To show you things you would never buy. There are several makers, dozens of watches, that are more than my house. That's fun to look at....For the price, this book is well worth it, if nothing else to be in your library or on your coffee table.

I don't know much about watches but I really got this for my sister as a christmas gift. She is a watch fanatic and has her own you tube channel in which she reviews watches. She LOVED this book and said it was full of information and would have bought it herself.

As always lots and lots of prove reading needed. Take cal. 315 S and CH 280-520 on pages 257/258, manually wound...

A good watch reference book which tell you the history of each watch brands and what is their works for this year. I purchased this book every year since 2001. Really enjoy reading it.

Sports fans have SI, timepiece fans have the bible according to Braun --its cool, curated and consistently tops in its class (which is why it's pretty much the only annual that matters) ...

Great publication if you are into watches. It's a bid pricy.

Good overall view of the Whole Watch World!

It's a very well presented catalog of watches and their movements. It's fair in price and makes for good conversation while it sits on the coffee table.

Great overview of latest offerings from all the watch brands

This is a very detailed book with history, pricing and pictures. (Colour) Covers high end crazy priced watches to more reasonably priced watches. Good value book.

Very good, use it a lot for reverence and prices on Ebay. Don't buy a watch without this book !

Amazing book, love the fact that the price of each watch is show. beautiful picture. highly recommand.
