Telling Time

Tourneau, the leading luxury watch retailer in the U.S., is now offering another timepiece of sorts – a tome on the watch trade that chronicles the history of timepieces from the sundial up to the latest designs.

Available at Tourneau stores nationwide, Tourneau’s The Watch Book – representing the company’s introduction into publishing and the first in what is planned to be an annual coffee table book – includes insights from industry insiders and aims to inform even the most well-versed horologist. A collaborative effort by journalists, bloggers, designers and Tourneau’s design and marketing teams, the 270 page hardcover follows the journey of watches from past to future.
