Every year hundreds of new wristwatches are introduced. Some feature innovative designs or mechanical improvements; others are available only in limited editions - which keeps the field interesting for collectors. Following the success of the previous edition, this annual highlights hundreds of the year's most extraordinary wristwatches in close-up colour photographs accompanied by complete specifications, giving collectors a wealth of up-to-date information, all in one volume. The specifications for each watch include price, movement, special features, complications, casings, dial, band, and available variations of a particular model. In addition, general histories of each manufacturer provide an overview of the company's background and style. "Wristwatch Annual 2002" also showcases the Wristwatch of the Year, an honour bestowed by popular vote on the watch that best combines mechanical and aesthetic value.
