Book Reviews of The Cartier Collection: Timepieces
Book Review: FABULOUS BOOK ON CARTIER TIMEPIECES
Summary: 5 Stars
I buy and sell Cartier timepieces. An apprasier at Christie's Auctions in New York City recommended the book to me for reference. I purchased this book through Amazon the next day after the recommendation. I was concerned that I would have to pay at least $500 for the book but found it on Amazon for less than $150. It is the finest book on Cartier timepieces that I have ever seen and is in mint condition. I highly recommend this book to anyone who collects or deals in Cartier timepieces. This book is a treasure just like the timepieces contained therein.
Summary of The Cartier Collection: Timepieces
Timepieces are the perfect distillation of Cartier's craft: At once bona fide jewels, the ultimate expression of style, and miracles of detail and precision, they are at the heart of all that the legendary house represents. Equal in beauty, value and design to Cartier's jewels, each timepiece is an object of unparalleled luxury and elegance, emblematic of the "Cartier style." Over 450 pieces, including the complete collection of "mystery clocks" whose hands seem to float in mid-air, are presented here, representing over 150 years of the finest horology. Each object is accompanied by its individual history and detailed technical specifications. Full-scale reproductions, including twelve gatefolds, are followed by an illustrated and comparative chronology, glossary of terms, and complete index.Clocks & Watches Books
