The second part of the reference work for all watch enthusiasts The world of wristwatches is undergoing radical change. So-called smart or connected watches, i.e. watches that communicate with the phone, are becoming increasingly important. Nevertheless, they will not displace the classic timepieces with mechanical movements from wrists, because the ticking of the mechanical watch is and remains the heartbeat of human culture. Following on from the successful The Watch Book , the second volume, again generously presented, is a must. Informative texts and numerous pictures present a further 24 watch brands and show their special features. This time, however, the protagonists cover a much broader spectrum. In addition to numerous watches that define the popular segment of affordable luxury, there are also timepieces from the top chronometric class. The Revised Edition of the bestseller for the teNeues anniversary To mark the 40th anniversary of the first teNeues illustrated book, some all-time favourites from the past are being celebrated in an affordable, modern softcover edition that fits perfectly on any bookshelf. The Watch Book and The Watch Book II represent the beginning of a real success story. Together with the renowned wristwatch expert and historian Gisbert L. Brunner , high-quality illustrated books about the world of luxury watches have been produced ever since. These titles heralded the launch of the internationally renowned The Watch Book series in 2015 and the following year. Now the bestsellers are being reissued and offer sophisticated aesthetics in a small format.
