A British jewelry author announced this week the release of a new book on the world’s most famous watch company. Rolex: The Story Behind the Style is Rachael Taylor's third in a series of titles about luxury brands.
Measuring just 13 x 2 x 19 cm, the 160-page self-described “pocket-sized gift book” is a welcome change from the heavy coffee-table tomes already written about the Crown.
Still, the seasoned editor, whose freelanced contributions on jewelry include The Financial Times, The Telegraph, Independent and Condé Nast publications, said she doesn't skimp on photos and information, covering the company's entire history, including the designs that made Rolex such a significant player in the watch business.
The book is available for sale in the U.K. starting Oct. 26, but won’t be available in the U.S. until Apr. 16, 2024.
