From the great classics to modern masterpieces through to more affordable timepieces, there is something to delight everyone. A must-have for collectors and for anyone who has ever wished to stop time. French journalist Vincent Daveau writes for professional watchmaking magazines and daily newspapers such as "Le Monde."
