After intense research, Hans Heinrich Schmid first pubished this Lexicon in 2005; a comprehensive study of German companies involved in industrial watch manufacture. The book was an immediate success and has become the standard reference work on the subject.

The 1st Edition has been out of print for some time and as a result of additional extensive work is now available in a much expanded 2nd Edition. The content has grown by over 40% to nearly 1000 pages, so that it now requires 2 volumes.

Historical commercial watch makers are included in the 2nd Edition of the lexicon, if they used their own trademarks or logos on their watches.
