This book is a modern classic — praised for both its emotional depth and iconic photography.
The New York Times Style Magazine called it “the first watch book that truly moved us.”
As a result, it has become one of the most recommended books for collectors, design lovers and anyone who appreciates meaningful stories.
Inside this watch book you’ll find the personal histories of 76 remarkable timepieces.
For example:
– Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona, worn daily for 35 years.
– Franklin Roosevelt’s gold Tiffany watch, worn at the Yalta Conference.
– JFK’s Omega from his presidential inauguration.
– Ralph Lauren’s watch from Andy Warhol’s personal collection.
– Sir Edmund Hillary’s Rolex from the first ascent of Mount Everest.
Each watch comes with original photography. In addition, author Matt Hranek travelled worldwide to interview collectors and families.
Therefore, the book reads like a collection of intimate human stories, not just a showcase of rare objects.
The clean hardcover design makes this watch book a strong interior piece.
Meanwhile, the stories add depth and emotion that most coffee table books don’t offer.
It suits watch enthusiasts, design fans and anyone who enjoys books with substance.
It also makes a thoughtful gift for holidays, birthdays or special occasions.
Elegant, personal and unforgettable — a book that stays with you long after you close it.
