10.17

One of my favourite blogs ever to exist, 10.17 captures the beauty in films, books and moments so well. The photography on the blog is great, all the recommendations are great, a glimpse into sublime combinations, the 10.17 Tumblr is one I constantly peruse!

Kenzo 

Cleaver knife

Cookie packet bag! Delightful!

Vivienne Westwood flats

Fun little details to add to any ensemble, I mean we only live once, who wants to be stiff upper lip chic all the time? Might as well attract a few looks on the bus NOT related to the cat in our handbag

Pierre Jaquet-Droz

For those who really loved the film Hugo, but in particular the ethereal hypnotic presence of the Automaton, I really was enchanted by his mechanical beauty and did a little research. 

A large inspiration behind the book, then film was this automaton: 

Maillardet's automaton, built by Henri Maillardet.

Which then led to finding out about the Jaquet-Droz automata. They are still working and draw pictures, and are on display in Switzerland.

Pierre Jaquet-Droz was a Swiss watchmaker and built the dolls to help him sell watches, but I really do think his mechanical bird music boxes are so wonderful, such an intricate attention to detail, full of old world charm. If you are into such intricacies, Jaquet-Droz have their own Youtube channel which is full of delightful videos.

Here is a link to a great article and video about his music boxes, gif below swiped from that source :)
