"Ah, the client mentioned this, saying that the item they're offering as a reward is a French brand Lacloche Frères, which was rumored to rival Cartier back in the day," Jeanne said while reading the email.
"Ah, that's no legend, my dear Jeanne," Leonard Ethan responded promptly upon hearing the brand name. "Indeed, it was a very important jewelry brand at that time."
Lacloche is a jewelry brand established by the Lacloche family in Paris in 1892, and it gained immense renown for its stunning pieces displayed at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts.
At that time, its fame was on par with that of Cartier and Bvlgari, brands that are well-known today. It was well-received by the upper-class society for its avant-garde and luxurious designs.
In European jewelry history, the brand had an exceptional significance; it redefined 'luxury' and genuinely promoted it into a common day-to-day lifestyle.
