GF Germany - Winter/Spring 2012
Our cover feature is devoted to the “adamas” – the most noble and unyielding of all precious stones. This leads us to the legendary Duke and Duchess of Windsor and their almost 40 years of mutual passion for Cartier and the fine art of jewellery. We also turn our attention to an accessory imbued with symbols: the glove. In recent times the glove has assumed the role of an indispensable accompaniment for the fashion conscious, yet in the Middle Ages gloves played a major role in acts of signing: treaties were regarded as signed and sealed after a glove had been handed over. In line with the spirit of the season, we have not overlooked the world of fur, where fashion designers are offering a sheer inexhaustible wealth of inspiration. In this spirit too, we wish you a year 2012 brimming with inspiration and enjoyment.

Wo die Begeisterung für Kunst<br />
eine Kultur ist.<br />
Willkommen in Basel.<br />
Basel ist einzigartig und begeistert. Die Lage an der Grenze zu Deutschland und Frankreich macht die<br />
Stadt unverwechselbar weltoffen, fröhlich und innovativ. In der romantischen Basler Altstadt schlägt<br />
das Herz der Stadt, hier wird Geschichte spürbar. Basel ist gleichermassen traditionsbewusst und<br />
aufgeschlossen gegenüber Neuem. Von diesem typischen Wesenszug zeugt auch die moderne<br />
Architektur von internationalen Koryphäen wie beispielsweise Mario Botta, Herzog & de Meuron oder<br />
Renzo Piano. Rund 40 Museen mit hochkarätigen Sammlungen und Sonderausstellungen prägen den<br />
Ruf Basels als Kunststadt. Und dass in Basel stets einiges los ist, hat sich in der ganzen Welt<br />
herumgesprochen. Das ganze Jahr über lockt die Stadt Besucher an – ob mit Messen, traditionellen<br />
Anlässen, Sportevents oder saisonbedingten Happenings. Wir heissen Sie herzlich willkommen!<br />
