Watch Types
The catalogue described every model by its specifications, and those specifications are how the archive is browsed. Twenty-seven of them survive, from chronographs and dive ratings to the sensors a 2006 field watch carried.

Every specification, by kind
The catalogue described its models with twenty-seven attributes. Grouped by what each one is, they say more about the collection than a ranked list would.
Complications
What the dial does beyond telling the hour.
Instruments
Sensors the catalogue recorded alongside timekeeping.
Movement
What drives the hands.
Display
How the time is read.
Case and crystal
What it is made of, and what protects the dial.
Strap and bracelet
What holds it to the wrist.
Water
How far down it was rated to go.
Counts are what has been recovered so far and grow as more of the archive is restored. A watch usually carries several of these at once, so the figures overlap.
