Description: The World's Most Expensive Watches, by Ariel Adams. Published in 2014 by the Antique Collectors' Club Dist. Hardcover in slipcase, 323 pages, illustrations on virtually every page. The World's Most Expensive Watches presents some of the most extravagant, intricate, collectible, decadent, or just plain interesting modern-day timepieces that sit at the top of the price spectrum. Starting at a threshold price of about $200,000, it is a trip through the last decade or so of watches whose values soar incredibly to prices of $5 million dollars or more. Additionally, there is a selection of notable watches that yielded extremely high prices at auction - many of which are historically relevant. A stunning collection that is both informative and entertaining; with detailed descriptions of individual watches and articles that usefully deconstruct the price tag with an explanation of the relevance of craftsmanship and complexity of design, as well as the importance of exclusivity, prestige and collectibility. The book itself is in near-perfect condition: interior appears to be flawless; strong, square, tight binding; bright boards with sharp corners; tiny bump at top of spine; two very small and shallow indentations at top of front board. The slipcase is very good: clean, bright, structurally sound; a few small indentations and thin scratches on front and back; some light scuffs; a bit of wear at corner where front top edge meets spine, also at front top and bottom rear corners of opening. A gorgeous book.
