WATCHMAKING SINCE 2000 – IN ESSENCE
The Millennium Watch Book, like any well-thought-out watch collection, aims to portray the very best of fine watchmaking. Watches come in many various shapes, colors and complications, and there is no better way to discover this fantastic land of opportunity than our first volume, released in 2020, which sums up everything essential on modern watchmaking.
EVERYTHING ESSENTIAL ON THE TOURBILLON SINCE 2000
Watches are all about quality, craftsmanship and aesthetic beauty. Is there really a complication that portrays these values more than the tourbillon? With its beating heart, the tourbillon truly unlocks the very soul of a watch and is the subject of our second volume. Much like this complication, our large format with incredibly high-resolution photography exemplifies these values. No collection would be complete without it.
EVERYTHING ESSENTIAL ON DIVING WATCHES SINCE 2000
The dial of a timepiece acts as a window into the land of dreams. Dive watches, with their tropical colors and functional straps, evoke this sense of adventure more than any other. A true dive watch deserves to accompany its owner to the depths of the oceans and the third volume of The Millennium Watch Book dedicated to these watches accentuates their daring, bold and free-spirited nature.
EVERYTHING ESSENTIAL ON CHRONOGRAPHS SINCE 2000
Although quartz or computers measure time with more accuracy, the true performance of a timepiece is measured in mechanical terms. Chronograph watches, the object of our fourth volume, demonstrate this performance-oriented nature. A good timepiece pushes boundaries and so does this book.
EVERYTHING ESSENTIAL ON GMT & WORLDTIMERS SINCE 2000
The 2024 volume of the Millennium Watch Book collection is dedicated to travel watches that display multiple time zones. This GMT or worldtimer function ranks third among the most popular complications for fine watch enthusiasts, according to a study by M&BD Consulting conducted in collaboration with GMT Magazine, which examined the challenges and trends in luxury watchmaking. This book provides detailed insight into this category of watches, thanks to the meticulous work of twelve experts who spent a year passionately exploring this subject.
