This book was written at one of the most volatile times in the history of horology. From the ongoing obsession with luxury watches fueled by the cryptocurrency boom (and now bust), the shortages caused by pandemic buying and the endurance of Rolex as the brand of choice among new collectors, it's almost impossible to predict where things may go. As a veteran of the industry, Marc provides insights few others can, casting his astute eye to the long term trajectory of this unique store of value. If you're a collector, an investor or just interested in watches, I highly recommend this as a read - it's fantastic.

Knowledgeable author. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, even though I’m not planning to treat my watches as investments. Now I just have to find that 7900v in blue :)

I wish I had had this book when I started collecting watches. It would have prevented me from making many mistakes. The book is full of useful advice for the newbie as well as the seasoned collector. I particularly enjoy the many, many specuific examples of watches illustrating the author's advice on what and how to buy collectable watches. These examples are all presented with succinct summaries and in a easily referenced format. The author has written this book in a very straightforward and easily digestible way. It is a pleasure to read and you can learn something new on every page. Again, i only wish the author had written this book about 20 years ago, but I guess we can't have everything. ;-)

It’s an easy read that teaches you what watches to look for and the history of them.
