“Ultimate Collector Watches is an important and welcome tome for all those looking to learn more about collecting vintage watches! I had a hard time putting it down once I cracked the pages.” * Eric Wind, world leading expert on vintage watches and founder of Wind Vintage * “This book is more than a showcase. It’s a curated collection of the rarest, most significant, most breathtaking wristwatches ever made—spanning brands, complications, styles, and eras. Many books explore single brands or models, but this one gathers the best of everything—a true celebration of horological excellence.” * Aurel Bacs, Senior Consultant at Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo (from Foreword) *
