Here comes the time for our special edition of ‘Notes on an Obsession’, one to celebrate the Holiday Season in style and curate a few marvellous gift ideas for her and him. I have kept the same intent as when building a ‘Notes on an Obsession’ article; that is unveil-ing beautiful one-of-a-kind or limited-edition designs, however this time by opening the selection to objets d’art, accessories and lifestyle goods. I had a fantastic time curating the following catalogue for you since my prime inter-est as always been in craftsmanship in all its functional or decorative applica-tions. In each following spread, high and fine jewels are indeed paired with exqui-site products from leading or emerging designers. This Holiday Season Wish List will consist of two complementa-ry issues, Chapter I in November and Chapter II in December. Last but not least let me wish you and your loved ones the most wonderful time on the lead-up of 2018 coming to a close.

Yours truly,

Olivier Dupon
