Fine watches have become an increasingly popular area of collectibles over the past century.

The unique combination of elegant beauty and incredible design has fascinated individuals from the great collector Henry Graves to modern celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Cristiano Ronaldo.

There is a great deal to find out about the world of fine timepieces, and now Reyne Haynes has produced a book to give collectors a tour through the world of wristwatches, from Rolex to Omega and from Cartier to Patek Philippe.

Vintage Wristwatches takes the reader through the history of the great European and American brands with descriptions, valuations and 1,200 stunning colour photographs, as well as offering guides to identifying and valuing timepieces, and an extensive glossary.
