A charmingly illustrated telling of the remarkable stories behind over 30 of the world’s most iconic timepieces. From the humble digital watch to luxury examples of haute horology from Switzerland, a watch’s combination of design, engineering and functionality can captivate a wearer. Iconic Watches presents over 30 timepieces that would sit proudly in any watch enthusiast’s collection. From the watch that helped US soldiers win World War II to the first watch on the moon, the most valuable ‘lost watch’ of all time to the timepiece that almost destroyed the Swiss watchmaking industry, each entry offers an intimate portrait of why each watch deserves its place in history. The remarkable stories cover the globe and beyond, featuring Hollywood royalty, actual royalty, daring adventurers, war heroes, legendary designers and engineers, and much more. It’s a beautifully illustrated window into the watch industry and one that readers are sure to love spending time with.
