Geek Out on the World’s Coolest Luxury Watches

From Rolex to Cartier and beyond, The Watch Book is a stunning visual ode to fine timepieces. 

In the age of smartphones, watches are often tragically overlooked. After all, those addictive hand-held computers in our pockets already tell us what time it is, along with practically everything else.

The Watch Book, edited by Gisbet Brunner, is a lavish tribute to the craftsmanship, aesthetics, and fine materials used by vaunted European watchmakers like Rolex, Patek Phillippe, Hubolt and Cartier.


For a preview, check out the bevy of beautiful wristwatches in the slideshow to ensure that you’re always on time.
