New in our watch library: Forma: Shape Watches, Patek Philippe by Giovanni Domenichini. This large-format hardcover is entirely devoted to Patek Philippe's shape watches, those models that move away from the round case to make time a matter of design and personal expression. It is available at MisterChrono for €329, in the English edition.
Shape watches, from Art Deco to the 1970s
Tonneau, rectangle, cushion, asymmetrical shapes: the shape watch has always been a field of experimentation. The author traces its evolution from the bold geometries of Art Deco in the 1920s to the experimental designs of the 1970s, and shows why these watches remain highly sought after today by collectors who value originality and creativity.
Why Patek Philippe
Giovanni Domenichini chose to focus exclusively on Patek Philippe. A personal choice, rooted in his own history and passion for the manufacture, which allows him to show how its shape watches carry on this tradition. The book does not claim to cover every brand: it delves deeply into a single house, through its most distinctive creations.
