Aux XIXe et XXe siècles, on collectionne des "curios" - ainsi nommés, à juste titre, puisqu'ils suscitent la "curiosité". Ces objets exotiques en provenance de Chine ou du Japon, ornés de décors fantaisistes, façonnés dans divers matériaux, dont certains encore méconnus, subjuguent les Occidentaux et influencent profondément les arts graphiques européens. Cette fascinante période suscite les vocations : celle de collectionneur pour Alfred Baur (1865-1951), et celle de créateurs pour Alfred Cartier (1841-1925) et ses trois fils, Louis (1875-1942), Pierre (1878-1965) et Jacques (1884-1941). Si les pièces à façon asiatique du joaillier parisien sont généralement connues, leur contexte historique et culturel l'est beaucoup moins. Ainsi, l'idée de confronter ces joyaux aux collections de la Fondation Baur, Musée des arts d'Extrême-Orient de Genève, a-t-elle germé.Cet ouvrage exceptionnel avec plus de 500 illustrations instaure un dialogue inédit entre deux des plus belles collections au monde.

Aspen Style
Aerin Lauder
Assouline, 2021
What began as a small mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom of the late nineteenth century has since become the preferred getaway of the world’s elite. Treasured for what’s above ground rather than below, Aspen, Colorado has a storied history almost as dense as the directory of A-listers who have adopted the jewel of Pitkin County as their second home, or who have settled in its slopes indefinitely. With an introduction from longtime resident Aerin Lauder, founder & creative director of AERIN, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, the working-class history, and the romance of the virtually untouched landscape that gives the town the unique charisma that continues to draw new devotees with each season. Exploring the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer’s restored Wheeler Opera House, and local culture found at Schlomo’s Deli & Grill, to name a few, this deluxe volume is brought to life with stunning current and historical imagery capturing the prodigious evolution of this mountain town over the last century.

Martin Steinbach
Martin Steinbach, 2017
Gemologist Martin P. Steinbach has had a lifelong fascination with asterism. This is the property of gems (so-called star stones or asteria) to show a star-like pattern of reflected or refracted light after they have been polished and shaped. This is the first book on this topic, showing the different classes of star stones using a large number of photos.

Founded in 1875 by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, the manufacturing headquarters of Audemars Piguet are nestled in the Joux Valley in Switzerland. At the turn of the twentieth century, the factory employed more than seventy craftsmen who developed traditional pièces as well as revolutionary watches. This book on the history of the company includes information on the slimline jeweled watches for women in the Art Deco era, chronographs in the Forties, the first perpetual calendar watch in 1957, the famous Royal Oak-the first high-end sports watch-in 1972, and the ultramodern Millenary MC12 in 2008, the mechanisms, the meticulous processes by which they are developed, and their technical and stylistic inventions.
