For this update of the original 2014 edition, British historian and journalist Nicholas Foulkes has selected the 100 most innovative watches developed since the turn of the 20th century, weighing the virtues of rarity, cost, innovative features, historical significance, great provenance and pleasing design. The watch – a microcosm of hundreds of tiny components interacting harmoniously with each other and held together in a precious metal case – has the power to stir emotions, excite the imagination and inspire the same passion as great art. Beautiful watches invite us to become part of a story, and the narrative unfolded by these 100 timepieces is that of one of the most exciting and dynamic periods in human history.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
