Bijou iconique créé par la maison Van Cleef & Arpels en 1968, le sautoir Alhambra est aujourd'hui une pièce majeure de la parure féminine. A l'occasion de son cinquantième anniversaire, cet ouvrage raconte la genèse de ce bijou devenu une signature de la maison Van Cleef & Arpels. Symbole de chance et porte-bonheur, le motif du trèfle à quatre feuilles puise son origine dans les fameux bijoux "Touch Wood" que la maison crée dans les années 1920. Motif icône de Van Cleef & Arpels depuis 1968, le trèfle s'est paré, au fil des années, des matières les plus nobles comme la nacre, l'onyx, la cornaline ou encore le lapis-lazuli. Il se décline aussi en de multiples combinaisons, offrant les porters les plus divers : sautoir, ras du cou, boucles d'oreilles, bracelet... La conception d'Alhambra offre toute l'expertise de la haute joaillerie : trèfle orné d'un délicat contour de perles d'or et précieuses associations de matières en font un bijou d'exception. Né à la fin des années 1960 – décennie qui révolutionna la mode, le style et les modes de pensée – le premier sautoir Alhambra séduit immédiatement les femmes. Stars, femmes du monde, fashionistas et élégantes du monde entier le portent, le superposent ou l'accumulent en rangs multiples et colorés... Ce livre raconte sa fabuleuse histoire, une histoire intimement liée à la création de la silhouette moderne. Au fil de documents issus des archives de la maison Van Cleef & Arpels et de grandes séquences "cinématographiques" signées de photographes majeurs, l'ouvrage donne à voir l'émergence des nouveaux de styles de vie et de mode qui révolutionnèrent ces dernières années et comment Alhambra s'inscrit pleinement dans son époque.

The extraordinary jewelry creations by the famous Maison from its beginnings to the present day. This book presents the legendary jewelry and precious objects of Van Cleef & Arpels, and how they relate to time, nature and love. Time is a fundamental element for both creativity and craftsmanship. Time gives objects their shape; defines their style; determines their function, social utility, and the choice of materials and techniques; indicates origin; hones taste; and reveals context. Time is interpreted through eight values inspired by Italo Calvino's Lezioni Americane, or Six Memos for the Next Millennium, to honor the iconic pieces created by Van Cleef & Arpels over the years, from Art Deco masterpieces to the illustrious Zip necklace, gravity-defying Mystery Set, or celebrated Minaudières-some of the most important innovations in the history of 20th century jewelry-making. Nature plays an equally important role for Van Cleef & Arpels as an ever-present source of inspiration and tribute, embodied in unique gems and timeless masterpieces drawing on flora and fauna. Van Cleef & Arpels is founded on love, the most powerful energy in the world. Each object is handcrafted with love, and Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry has sealed some of the century's most legendary love stories. In a brilliant historical and critical essay, illuminated by a stunning iconographic selection of jewelry, precious objects and archive materials, this work describes the Maison's eternal values of time, nature and love.

"Van Cleef & Arpels and Gallimard present "An exercise in style"; a literary and poetic promenade through the Maison's vocabulary. Twenty five words defining the identity of Van Cleef & Arpels have thus been gathered and illustrated by friends of the Maison, leading figures of the world of culture and the arts, such as Alber Elbaz, Valérie Belin, Camille Laurens, Alain Passard and others. Each word is an experience, sparking surprise, wonder or contemplation. We invite you to discover, for example, the expression of luck by Laurent Derobert, danse by Benjamin Millepied, transmission by David Caméo, high jewelry according to Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku or creation as defined by Jean de Loisy. Each chapter (savoir faire, feminity, Place Vendôme, enchantment, style) is opened by a poetic "theater" in laser cut paper. The book captures a poetic and literary happenstance, tell a story about beauty, about poetry, unleashing creation and unbridling the imaginary realm's might"--Publisher's description.

Skilley will protect the mice who live at the inn, and in turn, the mice will provide Skilley with the thing he desires most. But when Skilley and Pip are drawn into a crisis of monumental proportions, their new friendship is pushed to its limits. The escalating crisis threatens the peace not only of the Cheshire Cheese Inn but the entire British Monarchy!

'Downright fascinating...indispensable reading' Daily Telegraph 'Nicholas Foulkes' excellent...book is beautifully illustrated. Captivating' Daily Mail For more than 25,000 years, humanity has sought to understand and measure the passing of time, in the process creating some of the most remarkable and beautiful timepieces. Now, in Nicholas Foulkes' lavishly illustrated book, the battle to tame time is brought vividly to life. From the baboon bone dating back to the palaeolithic era that marked the lunar cycle and on to the 3500-year-old water clock at Karnak, from our earliest days mankind has sought to track the passing of time. More recently, the struggles to measure longitude and to create a workable train timetable across the vast, open expanse of the United States have inspired new developments. In Time Tamed, Nicholas Foulkes reveals how we have done this by focusing on some of the most significant developments in timekeeping across the ages. He also highlights the most stunning and lavish clocks and watches in history - from Big Ben to Rolex - for telling the time has never been purely about function, but also about design. The book is filled with remarkable tales, from the 14th century monk in St Albans who created one of the first mechanical clocks to the Holy Roman Emperor who built a clock into an automated ship that fired a cannon to summon guests to dinner. More recently, there was the Surrey woman who used a Napoleonic era watch to 'deliver' the accurate time to London shopkeepers in the wartime era of Churchill, or the Swiss denture maker who solved a tricky problem for the Indian Raj's polo players. Time Tamed is a book you'll want to spend many hours enjoying.
