Beschreibung

<b>This ultimate reference on fine watchmaking offers a comprehensive overview of the history and anatomy of luxury timepieces. </b><br><br>&gt;<br>Each facet of the watch—dial, case, strap, movements, complications—is explained through key concepts or features, from face displays or hands to engravings or case materials, and from escapements or powering movements to the three families of complications. This encyclopedic work celebrates the watchmaker's savoir faire—through historical accounts and archival documents, interviews with technical experts and specialized artisans, definitions of major horological terms and fascinating anecdotes, newly commissioned photographs and modern illustrations by Arthur Junier. This groundbreaking volume is essential reading for aficionados of watches and fine watchmaking and its publication coincides with the 150th anniversary of Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet.
