About Grail Watch Reference

Watch enthusiasts like to refer to the timepiece of their dreams as their grail. It signifies a quest for the perfect piece, and also serves to highlight certain models. They share their list of grails with other enthusiasts, dreaming of finding them someday.

Grail Watch Reference is a site dedicated to organizing and sharing reference material about wristwatches and watch movements. We strive for accuracy above all and focus on primary sources and official documents rather than simply repeating the “lore” of the Internet. Most illustrations are official company publications and are used here for research and educational purposes.

Visit the main Grail Watch site for commentary on wristwatches and the watch industry.
