More than a fashion accessory or means to tell the time, the
wristwatch has become a statement of identity; politician or
celebrity, scientist or sportsman, what you choose to wear on your
wrist speaks volumes about who you are. The World's Most Expensive
Watches presents some of the most extravagant, intricate,
collectable, decadent, or just plain interesting modern-day
timepieces that sit at the top of the price spectrum. Starting at a
threshold price of about $200,000, it is a trip through the last
decade or so of watches whose values soar incredibly to prices of
$5 million dollars or more. Additionally, there is a selection of
notable watches that yielded extremely high prices at auction -
many of which are historically relevant. A stunning collection that
is both informative and entertaining; with detailed descriptions of
individual watches and articles that usefully deconstruct the price
tag with an explanation of the relevance of craftsmanship and
complexity of design, as well as the importance of exclusivity,
prestige and collectability. Prepare to be impressed by a
larger-than-life-look at some relatively small items that command
not only huge prices but kudos and respect, in all areas of a
global society fascinated with using accessorising to create
identity. This is the second expanded and updated edition.
