Masters of Contemporary Watchmaking

Clerizo Michael

The author, Michael Clerizo spent months listening to eleven of the world's most renowned contemporary watchmakers.
These extraordinary individuals as Georges Daniels, Svend Andersen, Vincent Calabrese, Philippe Dufour, Antoine Preziuso, Franck Muller, Aniceto Jiménez Pita, Alain Silberstein, Marco Lang, Vianney Halter and Roger Smith told their stories.

One and few are so revealing of the supreme heights of ingenuity and perfection that exist in a high-tech era. They also speak fervently of their common goal: ensuring that the mechanical watch continues to thrive in a world dominated by disposable quartz watches.

In addition twenty other remarkable watchmakers and workshops from Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Holland, Finland, Ireland and Hungary are introduced and illustrated.

Also included are a technical glossary, suggestions for further reading and a list of specialist websites and magazines.
