Over 400 photos showcase the work of German, English, French, Japanese, Russian and the US watchmakers.

This book is long overdue documentation on automatic wristwatches from countries other than Switzerland. These watches were always considered superior micro-mechanical products and posed a challenge to technicians. It was only a question of time, before the collectors' interest in these watches expanded from Swiss watches to those of other origins.

A total of 123 watches are illustrated in three different views, through over 400 photographs in total, and each are described in detail. A price guide is provided for collectors.
