Wristwatch Annual 2008: The Catalog of Producers, Models, and Specifications

This 2008 issue of Wristwatch Annual comprises a ton of useful information for a watch collector.

The book contains the same type of data as last year's edition as it gives the general background of each brand, the specs of each watch and the MSR Price. A very good thing about this new edition is that contains more watch brands than the 2007 edition, less known brands, and it reviews more watch models from each manufacturer compared to last year's. Of course this Book contains the the most representative New watches for this year from each manufacturer together with specs and pictures and the thing I love about this book is that it lists the Base Price of the watches ( price may vary depending on the final retailer ).

A book for any enthusiast for who the watch is a passion. Price info, accurate description, many pictures. Must have it, as any ''Watch Annuals''

This large book has a wealth of information on many watch types and styles, and primarily showcases a limited array of various manufacurer's offerings. Plenty of photos, and information on many brands, a few of which are very obscure and known to only a few true watch aficionados. Each listing, however, gives only a cursury history of the brand, and only a few of the watches they showcase. Helpful for the beginner, although most watches are financially out of reach for most people. A nice inclusion though is the addition of new brands, and rare watches they offer. Obviously not all manufacturers are included, or should be, and while the lack of certain brands and individual watches is frustrating at times, most people will be quite satisfied to drool over the many pictures and will undoubtedly come away from it with a broader knowledge and appreciation of horology.

Purchased as a birthday gift. Was a hit.

Fast shipping Excellent product! Thanks!!!!

Great compliation of wristwatches for those who want to know what's new to the wristwatch world. Great info on the manufacturers and their history.

Of all the watch catalogs and annuals this one is the most comprehensive. A quality publication with much info regarding high end mechanical watches. Not perfect, some prices are not recorded, but a must have for watch lovers.
