CARTIER 1900 - 1939 Paris, London, New York. This special hard-cover book was published in honor of the exhibition, 'Cartier 1900 - 1939', held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from April 2, 1997, through August 3, 1997, and the British Museum, London, from October 3, 1997, through February 1, 1998. This exhibition was organized jointly by the two museums. Foreword by: Dr. Robert G. W. Anderson, Director, British Museum "The firm of Cartier is widely recognized as one the world's greatest designers and manufacturers of jewellery and objects d'art. This exhibition is timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the founding of the company in Paris in 1847." Preface: Judy Rudoe, Department of Medieval and Later Antiquities, British Museum "Previous exhibitions devoted to Cartier have encompassed the entire period of the firm's history, from 1847 to the present. The aim of this exhibition is to take a fresh look at a more closely defined period, from around 1900, when the firm's distinctive style becomes identifiable, to the end of the 1930s, which saw a dramatic change of style that led to a quite different aesthetic." A gorgeous exhibition book highlighting the first four decades of the 20th century, when the renowned Paris-based firm known as Cartier expanded to London and New York. Specially taken photographs present a breathtaking array of necklaces, bracelets, brooches, rings, as well as cigarette cases, clocks, and objects d'art. 450+ illustrations, 350 in full color. A great piece to start a collection, add to one, display on a coffee table, library shelf, etc. Author: Judy Rudoe Publisher: Harry N. Abrams Inc., New York, NY, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Published: 1997 Language: English Printed and bound: Italy Binding: Hard Cover with cloth binding in red burgundy with silver embossing Dust-Jacket: High-gloss, four-color process.

Research shows a 27% increase in caloric expenditure going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10, and a 30% increase in outer and inner thigh work over traditional ellipticals. The variety within the movements keeps exercisers motivated and enjoying workouts!* *Study conducted by Minnesota State University Mankato going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10. Stepping Motion For additional variety, the stepping motion can be used to alternate with lateral movements, for recovery or to incorporate beneficial cross training and target different muscle groups. Exercisers are free to customize their motion at any time throughout workouts. Upper-Body Ergonomics The upper body gets totally involved using the patented, breakthrough Multi-Grip and Converging Path handlebars, which fits exercisers comfortably. It’s easy to target different arm, chest and back muscles by changing the hand position on the Multi-Grip handlebars, which include fingertip controls for stride width and resistance.

Space-Efficient Design Designed with a compact footprint and self-powered operation, the Lateral X fits anywhere in a fitness facility, which makes it easy to floor several units to meet demand and accommodate many exercisers. It’s simple to get on and off the machine safely with its low step-up height and rear access. Workout Boosters Adding interval training to Lateral X routines is as easy as pushing a button to take on Octane’s trademark Workout Boosters, like X-Mode, QuadPower and Thigh Toner, which deliver greater challenges using quick bursts of cross training movements that target the entire body. Personal Entertainment The Lateral X boasts supreme entertainment with a choice of a smart or standard console, which add various options, including an Internet browser, ANT+ compatibility and mobile device charging. Both also can be equipped with a personal viewing screen (PVS) or 9000Mhz wireless receiver for premium customization.
