Paris 1919

"Featuring 290 color images, many of them full-page, this lavish volume chronicles Cartier's constant quest for excellence in the manufacture of complicated watches. From a Tortue single push-piece chronograph, created in 1929 to a contemporary Santos 100 skeleton watch, Cartier interprets complications in its own inimitable way, always with a sense of design.Hardcover268 pages9½"" X 9½""Imported"

This classic design from Rosenthal now features a new series of graphics which follow the contours of each item, thus emphasizing its shape. The designs take on the theme of structure by playing with the contrast between matte and glossy surfaces- an idea that Walter Gropius himself pursued in his first design.
