Synopsis
The most exceptional new creations from the world's premier jeweler. This exquisitely produced, luxurious tome presents one hundred of the latest creations by the famous jeweler, from high jewelry to precious objects. The Cartier style comes from a wide range of sources and inspirations-the mystery and opulence of China, India, and the Orient; the dynamic geometry of art deco; the energy of modern cities; the voluptuousness of orchids; and the strength and grace of panthers. Influences constantly evolve with the times yet remain faithful to the original style of Louis Cartier, the master of Parisian elegance and the art of high jewelry since the dawn of the twentieth century.

The grammar and vocabulary of the house's designs support a multifaceted poetry that combines classic alexandrines and free verse, but is penned by the same meticulous, innovative, and refined poet. This virtuoso speaks his poems with varied intonations, but in the same timbre. Constantly regenerating over time, he is not ready to put down his pen: the echo of the future resonates in his ode."
