Modern Jewelry Trends

A new website from La Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, www.hautehorlogerie.org, has detailed information on fine watches and watchmaking for retailers, collectors, and anyone who knows what a tourbillon is. (For those who don’t, the site also includes a glossary with illustrated definitions of 400 technical watchmaking terms.)  It is a comprehensive introduction to how watches are made and the arcane world of complications for sales staff and includes lots of history from top brands, including A. Lange & Sohne, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Girard Perregaux, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Panerai, Parmigiani Fleurier, Piaget, Vacheron Constantin, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
