The book every independents freak needs to have

It's only once in a while that I rave about a new watch book.
Was is 'White" by Osvaldo Patrizzi , where I was exited about, a couple of years ago, this time it is the book
'MASTERS OF CONTEMPORARY WATCH MAKING'
by Michael Clerizio. Published in 2009

Most watch books have a section about some independents;
this book is only about independents.



It's a 290 pages full color publication, 30 x 30 cm.
Besides George Daniels, Svend Andersen, Vincent Calabrese, Philippe Dufour, antoine Preziuso, Franck Muller,
Aniceto Jiménez Pita, Alain Silberstein, Marco Lang, Vianney Halter and Roger Smith, who each have up to 20 pages each.
watchmakers as Felix Baumgarten, Greubel Forsey, Stephan Sarpaneva, Kari Voutilainen and many others have two to four full pages each.

I photographed the book with my watch on the Urwerk page, so you have an idea how large his publication is.



Lots to read, beautiful photography, contact information all in one book.
I was impressed and it has kept me busy during Christmas.
In the back of the book is a list with watch museums, technical dictionary, international watch forums and websites,
(hey have I seen troisanneaux.com?) Hmm misser, organisations, picture credits nothing seems to be forgotten.

The book sells for roughly Euro 59.- and the ISBN number is: 978-0-500-51485-6
