Exceptional Watches is a celebration of modern haute horology at its most uncompromising. From the technical audacity of independent watchmakers to the refined mastery of established maisons, this book brings together some of the most extraordinary mechanical timepieces ever created — watches defined not by mass appeal, but by ingenuity, craftsmanship, and rarity.

Authored by collector Clément Mazarian of Collection Personelle, Exceptional Watches tells the stories of 90 era-defining timepieces, each meticulously catalogued and accompanied by striking imagery from celebrated photographer Henry Leutwyler. The selection spans both independent watchmakers and established maisons, united by ingenuity, craftsmanship, and significance rather than mass appeal.

More than a catalogue of impressive objects, Exceptional Watches provides context and perspective on why these timepieces matter. They represent the outer edges of watchmaking today: independent spirit, mechanical artistry, and the enduring appeal of human ingenuity expressed through time. A compelling reference for seasoned collectors and an inspiring introduction for those drawn to the pinnacle of modern horology.
