Archibald's Watches explores an imaginary collector’s extraordinary watch collection, bringing together more than 120 rare and iconic timepieces from prestigious houses such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Cartier.

Collecting watches is never a simple act of accumulation; it is a way of bringing together pieces, eras, and sensibilities. In this book, prefaced by Brice Wittmann, readers are invited to discover an extraordinary collection of more than 120 exceptional watches spanning different periods of time. It features unique models—sometimes produced in highly limited series—creations by independent watchmakers, contemporary pieces, and rare vintage watches.
Throughout the book, prestigious watchmaking houses stand out, including Patek Philippe, F.P. Journe, De Bethune, Cartier, Rolex, Louis Vuitton, and Omega.Bringing these watches together, placing them in dialogue, and presenting them within a single narrative sequence becomes a unique way of telling a story.
Through this book, Clément Mazarian—a watch enthusiast and specialist in collectible timepieces—studies a collection of very real watches, gathered under the banner of an imaginary collector: Archibald, a fictional figure born from a memory.
