The first edition of 'Grand Complications' pays tribute to the finest complex timepieces in the world and the manufacturers who produce them. This new annual catalogue is a survey of only the highest quality, luxury brands of watches and timepieces, and is the only catalogue of its kind. The book devotes chapters to tourbillons, repeaters and sonneries, chronograph rattrapantes, perpetual calendars, equations of time, astronomical indicators, GMTs, retrogrades and a host of novelties. It explores the roots and origins of these complications as a complete compendium of brands and watches that fall within the realm of haute horology, complete with full-colour images and detailed technical descriptions. It also features more than 1, 000 full colour photographs, a full glossary, and contact information for each house, making this the must have reference for watch collectors and professionals.
