Four Legendary Houses to Slip into Your Pocket
As the holiday season approaches, icons of luxury slip into our library in miniature format.
The collection "The Story Behind the Style" dedicates four compact yet richly illustrated volumes to Cartier, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., and Rolex. Four legendary names, four tales of excellence and style condensed into small books that one is tempted to carry everywhere. Each volume unravels the legend of a maison . Cartier, the "jeweler of kings", reveals its taste for aesthetic innovation, from the Panther to the geometric lines of Art Deco. Tiffany & Co. recounts the saga of a jeweler who became a symbol of New York and the American dream, between a cult film and eternal diamonds. Bulgari celebrates Roman flamboyance through its dazzling gems, solar volumes and creative heritage. Finally, Rolex brings to life a century of technical prowess and watchmaking icons, from the original Oyster to the legendary watches of adventurers and stars. Led by British journalist Rachael Taylor, this collection published by E/P/A editions offers a distillation of watchmaking and jewelry culture, halfway between an art book and a style guide. A perfect reading companion for those who love to immerse themselves in the history of luxury and the beauty of objects.
