‘The Watch Annual’ 2021 Book Review: For Watch Lovers By Watch Lovers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The inaugural edition of ‘The Watch Annual’ came out just before Christmas 2020, and now Elizabeth Doerr is pleased to hold the second edition – ‘The Watch Annual’ 2021 – in her hands. This book is about the watch community, a reflection of social media, the watch fam, and, of course, new watch releases. But it’s also about something else too: charity, appreciation, and giving back.

Book Review: ‘F.P. Journe Invenit et Fecit’ By Jean-Pierre Grosz

/1 Comment/in , /by

‘F.P. Journe Invenit et Fecit’ by Jean-Pierre Grosz narrates the story of François-Paul Journe, one of the most successful independent watchmakers of our time. This book outlines both Journe’s incredible and – dare I say – courageous career and delves into his personal life, which wasn’t always rosy and light. A very atypical career that deserves the attention it receives with this book, Elizabeth finds it is a must-read.

Book Review: ‘The Watch, Thoroughly Revised’ By Gene Stone And Stephen Pulvirent

/6 Comments/in , /by

When Gene Stone wrote ‘The Watch’ in 2006 he was a passionate watch collector who noticed a lack of general-interest books on the subject, thinking to write something that both collectors and neophytes could enjoy. Twelve years later, it’s the bestselling watch book. And now Stephen Pulvirent (managing editor of Hodinkee) has teamed up with Stone to thoroughly revise ‘The Watch’ to release the aptly named ‘The Watch, Thoroughly Revised.’

Book Review: ‘George Daniels, A Master Watchmaker & His Art’ By Michael Clerizo

/15 Comments/in , /by

George Daniels is a polarizing and fascinating figure. Several years ago, Michael Clerizo took it upon himself to spend the amount of time with Daniels needed in order to write a detailed book about his life, and the outcome is a pure joy to read with well thought-out words, logical organization, and gorgeous photos. I heartily recommend this tome to anyone interested in horology, and as a holiday gift as well!

Book Review: ‘Vacheron Constantin Artists Of Time’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

During the launch of the bombastic Reference 57260 on September 17, 2015, Vacheron Constantin launched a second rhapsodic item: the truly encyclopedic oeuvre ‘Artists Of Time.’ This beautifully photographed 456-page tome takes an extensive look at both the inner workings of Vacheron Constantin’s craftsmanship and its grandiose history, telling the whole story of the only Swiss watchmaker to have been in continuous operation for 260 years.
