A Short Retrospective
Crafted by Brice Lechevalier, our Editorial Director, with the help of our wonderful Sophie Furley and Suzanne Wong along with multiple other contributors in the GMT ecosystem, this 10-year collection was born out of the idea to sum up everything you need to know about watches since the year 2000. Modern, relevant, fun to read, and extremely didactic, these beautiful collector, limited-edition pieces are a must-have for any watch enthusiast. Having covered tourbillons in 2021 and diving watches in 2022, 2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the TAG Heuer Carrera and with it, the year of the chronograph.
What other complication has moved mountains during this millennium like the chronograph? The depth, breadth, innovation, and variety of this iconic complication are truly unique and deserves to be shared.
This new edition counts 200 pages in XXL format, 50 iconic models, 20 of the most expensive chronographs, 15 chapters, 12 months of work, more than 500 photos, over 50 brands, and more. Truthfully, with a project like this one, it is not about the numbers but more about something far more precious: passion. However, if you do want a factual view of this new volume: check out our press release here.
Having worked as the Sales and Marketing Manager for The Millennium Watch Book since August, I am here to tell you what it has been like behind the scenes. It has been eye-opening to experience how complex, thoughtful, and inspiring the creative process truly is. Rest assured, there is not one page in this book that has not been infused with the love we share in common for our industry. Just as the watchmakers craft their mechanical movements with emotion, our contributors craft their words with the same attention.
