Hardback. Condition: New. How can you tell a fake watch from a real one? Where are fakes made? What grades of quality can one find among so-called "replicas"? How can one buy a watch on the internet? How can one avoid fraudulent copies? These are just some of the questions to which any wristwatch enthusiast needs to find answers in an era when counterfeiting luxury products has become an industry in its own right. This book, of which the greater part is devoted to the most prestigious watch brands, provides readers with vital information on identifying fakes. It aims to ensure that buying a watch from a private individual, from a professional or on the internet (the global hub for the sale of fake watches) does not turn out to be a nightmare!

To our knowledge, no other work of this type has been published to date, doubtless due to the explosive nature of this fascinating topic.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Tanzanite is a gem that is one thousand times rarer than diamonds, first discovered in Tanzania just forty years ago. Initially mistaken for sapphires, the stone was entrusted to stonecutter Manuel de Souza, who shared samples with gemologists, leading to its recognition as something extraordinary. Tiffany & Co. quickly took notice, launching a campaign that elevated tanzanite to the status of 'gem of the 20th century.' In 2002, the American Gem Trade Association named it a birthstone for December, further solidifying its place among the most precious gems. The allure of tanzanite has drawn the attention of renowned designers from around the world, including Lorenz Baumer, Ruth Grieco, and Catherine Sauvage, making it a symbol of happiness for a select few. The book showcases hundreds of exquisite tanzanite jewelry pieces, featuring creations from luxury brands like Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chanel, and Van Cleef & Arpels, highlighting the gem's stunning beauty and its rise to prominence in the world of high-end jewelry. Tanzanite's age of glory has truly arrived, captivating both collectors and enthusiasts alike. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Navitimer. A mysterious name at first glance. It is in fact a contraction of two words, which correspond to the two major functions of a revolutionary watch: NAVIgation and TIMER. A chronograph designed for airborne navigation. But much more than that, an exceptional destiny, shaped by extraordinary and visionary actors. From the very beginning of its existence, in 1884, Breitling specialised in time measurement, namely the design of timers and chronographs. It was in the 1930s that the foundations of a close relationship with the world of aviation and aeronautics were laid, under the aegis of Willy Breitling. These ties have remained unbroken ever since. In 1952, in collaboration with the AOPA, the largest aeronautical association of the time, Breitling launched the development of the Navitimer, which offered what no other watch manufacturer had ever proposed: a chronograph combined with a slide rule for aircraft pilots. The Navitimer was available only to AOPA members in 1954, and then marketed to the general public in 1955. For 70 years now, the Navitimer has enjoyed glory, flown into space and weathered crises, integrating numerous evolutions without ever losing its original DNA. It has appealed to several generations of professionals, celebrities and lovers of exceptional watches, undoubtedly earning its status as an icon of watchmaking history. This second book in the Watch Stories series, dedicated to the history of emblematic timepieces, traces its heroic and unique destiny from its creation to the current models. AUTHORS: Anthony Marquie is a French national and a trained aeronautical engineer. He swiftly turned to an international career in finance and investments. He has always been a collector of both modern and vintage watches, including many icons from the Omega production. Today he spends a lot of his time looking for rare examples, as well as studying the market for prestigious watches and collector's pieces. Gregoire Rossier is a Swiss biologist specialising in bioinformatics. He became a watch enthusiast at the age of 13 when he inherited his first Omega Seamaster, but it was only much later that he started serious research on the Moonwatch. Applying his experience as a researcher, he developed a systematic database of thousands of entries referencing all his observations as well as the market trends for several versions of the Speedmaster.
