Iconic Watches presents over 30 timepieces that would sit proudly in any watch enthusiastâ€™s collection. From the watch that helped US soldiers win World War II to the first watch on the moon, the most valuable â€˜lost watchâ€™ of all time to the timepiece that almost destroyed the Swiss watchmaking industry, each entry offers an intimate portrait of why each watch deserves its place in history. The remarkable stories cover the globe and beyond, featuring Hollywood royalty, actual royalty, daring adventurers, war heroes, legendary designers and engineers, and much more.
