A Dictionary of Wonders: Van Cleef & Arpels

This coffee table tome is no ordinary book about watches and jewelry. Instead of a long chronology of brand history, it gets right down to the magic of it with an alphabetical guide to the themes and codes of the famous Maison. It’s like a reference guide, with archival information and gorgeous photography of emblematic jewels, precision watchmaking, and jewelry-making techniques, along with artistic collaborations. Written by French luxury editor Fabienne Reybaud.
