This is a good article to read for anyone who has an interest in design classics as well as a bit of history behind them. Watches are a range of items that have many classic designs. These designs fit into two areas, ones that are classics because they look good, and others because they function well. The best designs do both. I wrote this article as a preview of a new line of books from Phaidon Press, and covered just five of many modern design classic watches that will be featured in the upcoming books.
The focus here is not just on watches that have classic designs, but ones that fall into the realm of "modern design" classics. I had to choose carefully, and there were a lot that deserve to be on the list, but visit the link to read about five that easily deserve mention.
