Vintage Icons of Fashion

From ancient civilizations and the royal courts of Europe to modern culture, film and fashion, the mystique and glamor of the world's most brilliant natural treasure is told in a story that merges history with gemology, collecting with couture.

Timeless. Elegant. Iconic

The Story of the Diamond

In celebration of 120 years, this book offers a unique decade-by-decade journey through the legacy of Rolex, featuring 12 chapters that tell the story of the brand and the exceptional watches that cemented its fame and prestige. Explore 120 meticulously photographed Rolex timepieces, showcasing the diversity of models, styles, and finishes - from the legendary Submariner series and Daytona to the elusive Rolex Unicorn and the iconic 'Paul Newman' Daytona. Accompanying these extraordinary watches is the most extensive collection of Rolex ephemera ever assembled, tracing the company's history and influence with unparalleled detail.

An illustrated reference to tortoiseshell - this is the only book that covers tortoiseshell from all aspects.

Tortoiseshell

From their creation in the maw of mollusks to lustrous objects of infatuation and conflict, a revealing look at pearls' dark history. This book is a beautifully illustrated account of pearls through millennia, from fossils to contemporary jewelry. Pearls are the most human of gems, both miraculous and familiar. Uniquely organic in origin, they are as intimate as our bodies, created through the same process as we grow bones and teeth. They have long been described as an animal's sacrifice, but until recently their retrieval often entailed the sacrifices of enslaved and indentured divers and laborers. While the shimmer of the pearl has enticed Roman noblewomen, Mughal princes, Hollywood royalty, mavericks, and renegades, encoded in its surface is a history of human endeavor, abuse, and aspiration--pain locked in the layers of a gleaming gem.

Nature's Perfect Gem

Pearl

A large format, highly illustrated book published in collaboration with Vacheron Constantin to mark the house's 270th anniversary.

Vacheron Constantin: Time is Art

In this long-awaited reprint, the late George Daniels, a master watchmaker of the twentieth century, documents the important contribution made by England and America in the development of the pocket watch from the earliest times.

English and American Watches

The long-awaited reprint of an important illustrated reference work on the general history of the watch from 1500 to 1980.

When Watches was first published in 1965 it quickly gained for itself a reputation as the foremost general history of the subject and, following the expanded edition in 1979 which covered recent years past 1830, this has remained unchallenged in horological history.
 
In this long-awaited reprinted edition, collectors and horological students can again make use of the reference illustrations and history in this work as approached by the leading horology historians and clockmakers of the twentieth century. Clutton and Daniels write expertly on the vast history of watches, through the changing tastes and styles of collectors and makers, as well as imparting their own knowledge on various technical aspects within the watches.

The expansive historical section encompasses both decorative and mechanical aspects of mid-sixteenth to late twentieth century watches, including those by George Daniels himself, detailing the rich history behind more modern designs and fascinations. These later years include a variety of semi-experimental escapements, as well as covering the development of the precision watch and work leading to it by Ferdinand Berthoud and Pierre Le Roy, discussed alongside John Arnold in England, to satisfy the technical-minded collector.
 
Horology and collecting have grown with the changing technologies, and watches continue to be produced to an exceptional technological standard. Precision watches from the 1730-1930 period are covered in detail, as well as high standard Swiss and American watches of the last hundred years; these highly complicated watches benefit greatly from having both colour and mono illustrations to clarify the details. For a truly comprehensive understanding of escapements, photographs of these have been included alongside a critical approach to this essential mechanism. 

Since its first publication, Watches has provided an essential work of reference and history behind some of the most renowned minds and creations. Now reprinted for a new generation of collectors and students, and featuring over 600 illustrations, the technical and decorative elements of historical watches can be studied and enjoyed once more.

A Complete History of the Technical and Decorative Development of the Watch

Watches

"In today's throwaway culture, there's a counter movement growing that urges us to "make do and mend". The Repair Shop has brought this waste-conscious message to an even wider audience, cementing itself as a BBC classic of the likes of Antiques Roadshow. [This] book concentrates on the show's much-loved experts, including woodworker and furniture restorer Will Kirk, clockmaker and mechanical wizard Steve Fletcher, silversmith Brenton West, saddler/leatherworker Suzie Fletcher, upholsterer Sonnaz, and seamstresses Julie Tatchell &amp; Amanda Middleditch - aka The Teddy Bear Ladies, with each sharing why they love their craft, followed by a narrative on two specific objects and their restoration journeys. These narratives capture the ethos of the programme by being almost Aesop's Fables-esque - e.g. The Woodworker and the Broken Toy Chest - with quotes from the recipients of restored objects dotted around. With the focus on the artisans themselves, readers will feel as though they're stepping straight into the 'workshop of dreams'." --
