This deservedly famous book brings a glittering century to life, taking as its subject Louis XIV at Versailles – from the moment he decided to transform his father’s hunting lodge into the greatest palace in Europe, to his death there 54 years later. Focusing on the daily life of the King, the Court and the government during the period of France’s apogee of military power and artistic achievement, this lavishly illustrated book covers the course of Louis XIV’s love affairs, culminating in his secret marriage to Madame de Maintenon, the affair of the poison, the creation of St. Cyr, Lord Portland’s embassy and the marriage of the Duchess of Bourgogne.

Great watch, Art Of Horology was a pleasure to deal with
Color: Anthracite on Stainless Steel
What a great watch! There are so many choices out there (even when you filter out a large portion of those you are clearly not interested in :-). Know what you like, use discipline with your cash, be logical, but then even after all that, you will eventually just have to let the right brain kick in and choose based on creativity and intuition. I needed a watch, and wanted a decent one, that looked good. This does all of that in style. It's not too big, its fairly waterproof, easy to read with clean lines. I wanted lume... The textured face has an interesting effect, like looking out a window at late dusk. Don't buy too many things, but when you do be wise. Even the Dalai Lama likes good watches.

Reloj elegante!
Color: Anthracite on Stainless Steel
El reloj es bello, tal como se ve en la foto. Podría mejorar si tuviera mayor reserva de marcha, pero si lo usas todos los días a la misma hora, no tienes que darle cuerda o ponerlo en hora.

This is a fantastic watch!
Color: Silver - Stainless Steel
This is a fantastic watch! I have about a 6.25 inch wrist and the 42mm version fits perfectly. I had actually purchased the 38mm version and had to return in because it was too small. The dial is amazing and the beauty of the watch is its simplicity. Its face is uncluttered but has the main features that I need, time, day and date. Plus, the automatic movement is quite accurate and smooth. Overall, I would recommend this watch to anyone who wants a clear and uncluttered watch that is very easy to read!
