100 Iconic Watches is a richly illustrated volume that chronicles a century of horological innovation and design. Featuring 100 landmark timepieces from renowned brands such as Audemars Piguet, Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Patek Philippe, the book explores how craftsmanship, precision, and cultural relevance have shaped the legacy of wristwatches.

From the Omega Speedmaster worn during the Apollo moon missions to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Caliber 101, famously worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation, each watch is presented with historical context and design insight. The Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet, the first luxury steel sports watch, and Patek Philippe’s Nautilus and Aquanaut models are also featured as examples of enduring style and technical achievement.

Authored by Gisbert L. Brunner, a respected watch historian with over 60 years of experience and more than 25 publications, the book blends expert commentary with engaging anecdotes. It serves as both a visual reference and a historical catalogue for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the evolution of luxury timekeeping.
