Cufflinks are the ultimate in timeless style. In a sea of fast-changing fashions, cufflinks remain a strong sartorial presence because they are always the "right" thing to wear. From Pablo Picasso to Prince Charles--who had the pistons from his Aston Martin melted to make a pair--many of the most iconic men in history have donned them to set off a smart designer suit. As the epitome of suave sophistication, it's difficult to imagine James Bond lifting his signature martini without a shiny set.

Today, cufflinks allow men to express themselves in an understated way, their materials and designs speaking volumes about the wearer's hobbies, preferences, and profession. The book also includes a pair of enameled gold cufflinks by the Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé, among many other famous examples.

Precious Cufflinks features more than two hundred sets of the most extraordinary cufflinks from the drawers and display cases of collections and museums around the world, many newly photographed in full color for the book.
