Description
An accessible, design-savvy collector's guide to the world of unusual, rare and dazzlingly retro watches.
Retro Watches is a popular, accessible collector's guide for anyone who wishes to make a statement with the watch they wear, opting for a timepiece that is distinct from the 'classic' and mainstream models by major Swiss brands. This book brings together the most intriguing, visually striking, and 'out-there' watch designs from little-known yet influential watch brands, as well as overlooked but brilliant pieces from the major players.
Featuring one hundred watch models, each specially photographed for the book, Retro Watches includes accessible, informative texts discussing each watch's design, its intriguing features, and its rarity and value. The book also explores the cultural and fashion history of watch design and the many innovations from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
