Complete Price Guide to Watches

Despite some flaws, The Complete Price Guide to Watches is always the standard guide most often used by pocket watch and wrist watch collectors. As a military timepiece collector, I use the price guide to help identify type and date of manufacture.

This giant latest edition (19th) contains over 1,100 pages and covers over 10,000 watches. 7,500 are illustrated. It provides a wealth of information useful to the novice or professional collector or dealer. Not only is it a price guide, but it has a huge amount of information, including grading, how a watch works, how to date a watch, history, coding and much, much more. It has so much data, one wonders how they were able to assemble it all. The volume is really a bargain at its price. Wonderful reference !!

Shugart's price guide is the standard reference for watch collectors and is eargerly anticipated every year.

It is one of the best price guides you can buy for vintage pocket watches. Not only a price guide, it goes into some depth on the explainations and workings of the pocket watch in general. Only one drawback, it is pub. but once a year. The market on pocketwatches is much more dynamic than once a year reflects. A must buy for you serious collectors!
