Independent Watchmakers

ACC Art Books is one of the world's leading distributors of books on the arts and visual culture. They bring us titles like Independent Watchmakers, which showcases 62 artisans from different regions around the world who people – even the most seasoned aficionado – have likely never heard of. Here, author Steve Huyton looks beyond the price tag and instead focuses purely on artistic merit, uncovering true hidden gems of the watch world. Some are third generation watchmakers while others led fruitful careers at big brands before setting out as an independent. Independent Watchmakers illustrates the full spectrum of artisans in this industry, telling these stories and everything in between. In addition, Huyton highlights his own label, Paolo Mathai Horology, who crafts unique timepieces in close collaboration with clients and architects as well as two bespoke timepieces especially for this book, 'Hemisphere' and 'Pure Carbon'.
