The Watch Book
The wristwatch can be traced to the 16th century, with Elizabeth I of England receiving one as a gift. The first Swiss wristwatch came in 1868 by Patek Phillippe, which is still one of the most lauded watchmakers today. In that time, nothing quite combines status and precision like the wristwatch, The Watch Book goes into a deep dive of the wristwatch, from the concept of time to an exploration of 18 watchmakers, from Rolex to Patek Phillippe.
