Isabel Cutler
Rizzoli, 2001
Journey into the Arabian desert, a place few outsiders have ever visited. With an insight and sensitivity that reveal her love of this region, Isabel Cutler demystifies the landscape and people in Mysteries of the Desert. Dramatic lighting, shadows, and cloud patterns punctuate the moody desertscapes and provide a fascinating counterpoint to portraits of the vibrant Bedouins who live in this stark land. Cutler's full-color photographs celebrate the hearty life in the desert, exploring the subtle patterns made by windswept dunes, sand textures produced by the erosion of rock, and relics of ancient palaces. Accompanying the evocative images are excerpts from classic and modern Arabic verse--a tribute to the rich oral and written poetry traditions of the culture. This captivating book reveals the timeless essence of the land and its people.

Nadav Kander
Steidl, 2019
With his minimal and intuitive approach, Kander shows his interest in universal experience, which transcends the specificity of public persona or status. His enigmatic depictions of actors, artists, musicians, authors, sports icons and political leaders-from Barack Obama, John le Carré, Alexander McQueen, to Tracey Emin, Robert Plant and Prince Charles-are layered and penetrating, revealing unexpected moments of reverie and vulnerability.

Navitimer : L'épopée du Chronographe Breitling
G.R.A.M.
Watchprint, 2022
Dès le début de son existence, en 1884, Breitling se spécialise dans la mesure du temps, à savoir la conception de compteurs et chronographes. C’est dans les années 1930 que se créent les fondements d’une relation étroite avec le monde de l’aviation et de l’aéronautique, sous l’égide de Willy Breitling. Ce lien indéfectible ne cessera jamais. En 1952, en collaboration avec l’AOPA, plus grande association aéronautique de l’époque, Breitling lance le développement de la Navitimer, qui offre alors ce que nul autre fabricant de montres avait jamais proposé : un chronographe associé à une règle à calcul pour les pilotes d’avions. La Navitimer fut disponible pour les seuls membres de l’AOPA en 1954, puis commercialisée auprès du grand public dès 1955.
Depuis maintenant 70 ans, la Navitimer a connu la gloire, volé dans l’espace, traversé les crises, en intégrant de nombreuses évolutions sans jamais perdre son ADN d’origine. Elle a séduit plusieurs générations de professionnels, de célébrités, et d’amateurs de montres d’exception, gagnant sans nul doute son statut d’icône de l’histoire horlogère.
Ce deuxième livre de la collection Histoires de Montres, consacrée à l’histoire de modèles horlogers emblématiques, retrace son épopée et son destin unique, depuis sa création jusqu’aux modèles actuels.
