They all broke the mold.\" - Simon de Burton Simon de Burton journeys through some of the most coveted cars of the twentieth century. From the Alfa Romeo 6C to the Porsche 996 GT3, the author has chosen cars from each decade from the 1930s to the early 2000s, his choices made from the perspective of the enthusiast and collector. All are considered 'milestone' cars and all have risen substantially in value in the past five to ten years. They are not all necessarily the fastest, rarest or most valuable cars, but they are all highly significant and highly regarded. These are the cars that should have been bought when they were new and kept for the future - now that they are truly desired. Features cars from across the varied spans of time, price and purpose, including: Lancia Lambda, Austin Seven, Volkswagen Beetle, Jaguar C-Type, Citroen DS19, Ford Mustang, DeLorean DMC 12, McLaren F1.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"ACC Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40154546143430,"sku":"9781851499168","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/4708\/2607\/products\/51Iy4BFBZnL._SX418_BO1_204_203_200.jpg?v=1655249342"},{"product_id":"rolex","title":"Rolex: History, Icons, And Record-Breaking Models","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSynopsis\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe history of Rolex is inextricably linked to its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who took the first steps in the world of Swiss watchmaking as he dreamed about a timepiece that could be worn around the wrist.

A Rolex connotes many things: the quintessence of the luxury timepiece, a tool of power for movers and shakers, the symbol of passage into adulthood. New labels pop up, styles come and go, but the brand at the top never changes. Ever the record setter—the Daytona that had belonged to Paul Newman was auctioned by Phillips in New York in October 2017 for $17.8 million—it comes as no surprise that Rolex is the most collected watch label in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe history of Rolex is rooted in the visionary spirit of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf.

The company first concentrated on producing the highest quality movements, and this quest for precision rapidly led to the first wristwatch in the world to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, granted by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne in 1910. Four years later, Kew Observatory in Great Britain awarded a Rolex watch a class A certificate, a distinction that had been previously reserved exclusively for marine chronometers.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"DspInfo\"\u003eFrom that date forward, the Rolex wristwatch has been synonymous with precision. Over the last 100 years, Rolex milestones include: the first waterproof watch, the first self-winding mechanism, the first wristwatch to fly over Mt. Everest, the first diver’s watch waterproof to 100 meters, the first to withstand magnetic fields of 1,000 gauss, the first to descend the Mariana Trench.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"DspInfo\"\u003eSelected by specialist Fabienne Reybaud, each of the exceptional Rolex watch models in this beautiful handcrafted Ultimate Collection volume showcase the most valuable and technically innovative models the luxury watchmaker has produced, including watches never seen in print before: From the first wristwatch dating to the early 1900s and the first Oyster Perpetual from 1931, to an Explorer worn during Sir Edmund Hillary’s expedition to the summit of Mt.

A closer look at each F1 Champion, beginning with Giuseppe Farina who won the very first Grand Prix, through to the reigning World Champion Max Verstappen, alongside the heroes and icons that make up this spectacular sport, not only reveals the guts, bravado and sheer skill of those who bring motor racing to life, but gives us an insight into how the world of Formula One plays out behind the scenes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACC Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44199292141766,"sku":"9781788842686","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/4708\/2607\/files\/61YMocGjQRL._SL1400.jpg?v=1729912321"},{"product_id":"james-bond-style","title":"James Bond Style","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom sharp suits and cult watches to glamorous gowns and scene-stealing bathing suits, James Bond Style explores the timeless fashion in all twenty-five Bond movies, not only of 007 himself throughout the eras, but also his nemeses, love interests, and colleagues.

Playing the game himself, he learned early how a body moves through space—how a player shifts weight, and how a moment opens and closes. Long before he picked up a camera, he understood the rhythm of the game from the inside. For more than twenty years, that instinct has shaped the way he sees the world. Whether working on large-scale productions or photographing solo around the world, Sam’s approach remains the same: Find the light, strip away the noise, and wait for the real moment—whether his subject is a professional athlete, a model, or a stranger met along the way. For the last decade, he has followed a mission around the globe: to photograph football at its roots. From improvised dirt fields to crowded alleys, he seeks out the open ground where the game is still played for the pure love of it.
