About This Item
Editions L'Art De Vivre La Difference, 1998. Softcover. Like New/Fine. Signed by Author. Gift inscription by and signed by Philippe Charriol. The story of the famous french watchmaker and jeweler who founded the firm of Charriol in 1983. Prior to founding his own brand, Philippe Charriol was a leader inside the maison of Cartier for 15 years, holding various positions including General Manager, and then as Brand President for the Asian market based in Hong Kong. Today, this Geneva-based international luxury brand specializes in watches, jewelry, leather goods, writing instruments, travelware, eyewear and fragrances. Philippe Charriol, a devotee of art, history, and car racing, drew inspiration from ancient Celtic culture in order to create his maiden collection in 1983 - the Celtic Collection. He was the first jeweler to use gold cable, or steel cable, as decorative motifs and as watch bracelets. A racing sponsor and racing enthusiast for 25 years, Philippe Charriol died in an auto racing accident in 2019. Signed copies rarely offered.
