Forma: Shape Watches, Patek Philippe – Giovanni Domenichini

A large-format book devoted to Patek Philippe's shaped wristwatches: the models that leave the round case behind and treat time as design, art and personal expression.

Giovanni Domenichini follows these watches from the bold geometry of the Art Deco years in the 1920s to the experimental designs of the 1970s, and shows why shaped watches remain sought-after pieces for collectors who value individuality and creativity.

The author has chosen to focus solely on Patek Philippe, a personal choice rooted in his own history and passion, to show how the manufacture's shaped watches carry this tradition.

Giovanni Domenichini. Hardcover, 220 pages, colour illustrations, 31 × 35.5 cm. English edition.
