[Complete Catalog] A "Permanent Passport" to the Patek Philippe Museum

"There's simply not enough time to appreciate each and every one."
It's a feeling of regret that every watch enthusiast has experienced at least once as a museum is about to close.
The Patek Philippe Museum, located in the heart of Geneva, Switzerland, just off Plainpalais Square,
In terms of both quality and quantity, they are now an indispensable part of understanding the history of "time" and "clocks."
A valuable catalogue containing the entire collection of Patek Philippe watches housed there is available.
It will finally be released in Japan. Here are the details.

		The Patek Philippe Museum was established in 2001 through the unparalleled passion for watches and leadership of Philippe Stern, the president of Patek Philippe at the time. It is a world-renowned "temple of time" that displays, across several floors, rare timepieces that tell the story of European watchmaking, particularly Swiss timepieces, as well as masterpieces that have been used by famous people throughout history and that are the origins of modern watch design, all produced by Patek Philippe, which was founded in 1839. 　Needless to say, it is a favorite among watch enthusiasts, and has now become one of Geneva's tourist attractions, attracting many visitors regardless of their level of knowledge about watches. 　That said, it's also true that for many watch enthusiasts living in Japan, Geneva is not a familiar city that they can easily visit. "If I have the chance, I'd like to go there at least once..." This is the thought that many people have every day. 　We have good news for such "dreaming watch enthusiasts." The English version of the museum's first catalog, which includes the museum's historical collection from the company's founding through to the 1980s, along with the movements that power them, is finally going on sale in Japan. Since the French version was released in Switzerland a few years ago, the book has been met with passionate calls from watch and Patek Philippe enthusiasts not only in Japan but around the world. This is a noble move by Honorary Chairman Philippe Stern to respond to this passionate demand.
The Patek Philippe Museum Complete Catalog will undoubtedly become a valuable record in the future. The English version is finally being released in Japan. Volume I focuses on pocket watches, while Volume II features pocket watches and wristwatches, totaling 928 pages and featuring 1005 watches.

The Message from Mr. Philippe Stern

We are extremely pleased to present the first catalogue of the complete collection of Patek Philippe timepieces held at the Patek Philippe Museum.
　This catalog, the culmination of many years of collecting, presents the entirety of Patek Philippe's unparalleled timepiece collection, which has been produced for approximately 150 years, from the company's founding in 1839 to the 1980s, with life-size images and text.
　After collecting timepieces for over 40 years and building up a collection, I decided that this collection deserved to be housed in a museum, and so the Patek Philippe Museum opened in 2001.
　The museum aims to allow visitors from Geneva, Switzerland and abroad to discover – or rediscover – the city's great watchmaking history through Patek Philippe timepieces, while also paying homage to the watchmakers of today who have perpetuated the art of watchmaking and contributed to its preservation for future generations.
　Our collection will be of interest to all collectors and enthusiasts of watchmaking, especially those who appreciate Patek Philippe. We sincerely hope that all who pick up this catalogue will enjoy the exquisite beauty of the collection and the stories it tells.
