Review: If you Loved 2007 edition you will still Love the 2008 Edition - The book contains the same type of data as last year's edition as it gives the general background of each brand, the specs of each watch and the MSR Price. A very good thing about this new edition is that contains more watch brands than the 2007 edition, less known brands, and it reviews more watch models from each manufacturer compared to last year's. Of course this Book contains the the most representative New watches for this year from each manufacturer together with specs and pictures and the thing I love about this book is that it lists the Base Price of the watches ( price may vary depending on the final retailer ).

Plenty of info and pics, but still lacks both of these
This large book has a wealth of information on many watch types and styles, and primarily showcases a limited array of various manufacurer's offerings. Plenty of photos, and information on many brands, a few of which are very obscure and known to only a few true watch aficionados. Each listing, however, gives only a cursury history of the brand, and only a few of the watches they showcase. Helpful for the beginner, although most watches are financially out of reach for most people. A nice inclusion though is the addition of new brands, and rare watches they offer. Obviously not all manufacturers are included, or should be, and while the lack of certain brands and individual watches is frustrating at times, most people will be quite satisfied to drool over the many pictures and will undoubtedly come away from it with a broader knowledge and appreciation of horology.

watch the watches
Of all the watch catalogs and annuals this one is the most comprehensive. A quality publication with much info regarding high end mechanical watches. Not perfect, some prices are not recorded, but a must have for watch lovers.
