The Millennium Watch Book started as one book. The objective was to celebrate GMT Publishing’s 20th anniversary with a 200-page hardcover coffee table book that would look back at everything that had happened in the watch industry over the last two decades. From the watches to the people, the technical innovations to the iconic designs. It was a huge success that quickly transformed into an idea for a series of 10 editions to be spread out, one per year, until 2030.
Following an edition dedicated to tourbillons (2021) and another on divers’ watches (2022), the 2023 edition covers the world of chronographs. Written by GMT’s large network of watch experts from around the world, each edition features over 80+ luxury watch brands and independent watchmakers, along with more than 1000+ photographs.
The Chronographs edition retraces the key players, patents, iconic watches and trends surrounding this complication since the year 2000. What truly sets it apart is its compelling narrative, accompanied by striking and educational illustrations. The book delves into the groundbreaking technical innovation of modern-day chronographs and offers an in-depth look at these iconic timekeeping instruments all whilst being enjoyable and engaging to read. It also features a useful top 50 of the most impressive chronographs from the last 20+ years.
From today, it will be possible to purchase this edition – and any of the others for that matter – directly from the WorldTempus website. We are also offering a 10% discount for those of you who would like to buy all four issues to start your own book collection.
The beauty of these editions is that they can both be appreciated individually and can be read in any order. They make ideal presents for watch-loving friends and/or family, can be offered as corporate gifts to clients and/or business associates, and can be gifts to yourself to further your knowledge of the incredible world of watchmaking. Whether you are a seasoned watch collector or an amateur enthusiast, the Millennium Watch Books will increase your understanding of watchmaking and immerse you in the art of modern timekeeping.
