Watches: A Guide by Hodinkee

A celebration of craftsmanship, collecting, and the enduring appeal of exceptional timepieces.

This Assouline volume traces Hodinkee's remarkable journey, exploring the watches, makers, and movements that have defined its success. Dedicated sections delve into iconic chronographs, dive watches, design-led classics, and celebrated collectors' pieces, while contributions from respected industry figures offer valuable perspectives throughout. 

A natural fit for studies, libraries, and thoughtfully styled living spaces.  An appealing addition to collections centred on design, innovation, craftsmanship, and mechanical ingenuity.

The makers

Assouline

Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, the publishing house began with La Colombe d’Or, a tribute to the storied hotel and restaurant in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, photographed by Prosper and written by Martine.

Over the past three decades, Assouline has grown into an internationally recognised luxury lifestyle brand, exploring the worlds of art, fashion, architecture, travel, design, gastronomy and popular culture. Each title transforms the traditional coffee-table book into an object of beauty, inviting curiosity, conversation and a little escapism into the home.
