Before being one of the key pieces of Cartier Haute Horlogerie, the Santos watch is that of an adventurer. That of Alberto Santos-Dumont – an aviation pioneer. And it is exactly in this quest for the impossible that the pioneer led his friend Louis Cartier. Santos was born from the meeting of these two visionaries at the beginning of the last century.

This book is Robert Polidori’s portrait of the interiors of the now demolished Hotel Petra in Beirut, a grand icon of the city’s prewar history. The Hotel Petra was once one of the most popular hotels in Beirut, conveniently located in the city center adjacent to the Grand Theatre. After the Lebanese Civil War of 1975-90, Rafiq al-Hariri founded a holding company, Solidere, whose goal was the selective demolition and reconstruction of downtown Beirut’s urban fabric. In 1992 the Hotel Petra was set aside for later restoration, and from that moment essentially cut off from any human intervention.
