Book

This European LONG OUT OF PRINT Antiquarian auction catalogue lists and describes 222 Lots, of a rare collection of Swatch Prototype and Other Rare Watches !

Illustrated models from 1983 to 1991 include -- Tennis Stripes, 12 Flags, Nikolai, Turquoise Bay, Sir Limelight, Bergstrussli, Mackintosh, Nine to Six, Folon, Kiki Picasso Art Model, Chic-On, Hyppocampus, Blackout, among OTHERS!!

I have always liked the Swatch wristwatchs because they are so distinctively designed, colorful, and limited editions -- I particularly favor the automatic self-wind models. I dislike battery-operated timepieces or those that have to be wound every day. I used to do that on a daily/weekly basis for all of the clocks I had in each room of the much larger place I used to live in -- but things change!

Serious collectors are increasingly making use of the technology available to them on their PCs/iBooks/laptops to make a personal computer database of the treasures they are interested in -- including pics! There are several software programs available which greatly simplify this task, allowing you to access thousands of individual data details virtually instantaneously according to your own programmed index words. And the entire process begins, as it has for many centuries, with having as complete a personal research library as possible on any particular subject -- scanning the illustrations in the tomes, and quite simply plugging all the info into the database results in an invaluable source and guide for your personal future collecting activities.
