Europastar Interview — Horological Values & Modern Watchmaking
Europastar Interview — Horological Values & Modern Watchmaking
For some collectors, it's the Roaring Twenties, when the wristwatch was really just emerging – exactly one century ago. For others, it's the conservative 1950s or the free spirit of the Swinging Sixties, when the sky was the limit. Others keep coming back to the creative destruction of the Seventies. Maybe more than in any other industry, the best-selling timepieces of today were imagined a long, long time ago. We've asked a set of passionate collectors what is their own personal “golden age” of watchmaking. Their answers are as divergent as they are enlightening.
