It made its red carpet debut that same year, when Nicole Kidman wore a L'Wren Scott-designed diamond sautoir necklace with 1,399 carats of Forevermark diamonds to the Oscars.

For women, historically, Piaget has also been about trying to find new ways to wear jewelry, with the sautoir watches, the cuff watches and bracelets, and so we've brought those back, and recently we've also introduced the ear cuffs.

She said there were too many to choose just one, listing Elizabeth Taylor's sapphire sautoir, the Monete collection featuring ancient Roman coins, a necklace with a 24.46-carat Colombian emerald from the Cinemagia collection and the Flamingo necklace from the recent Wild Pop line.

At Van Cleef & Arpels, Catherine Cariou, the house's heritage director, showed a 1920s-era advertisement picturing a flapper with shingled hair dancing as she displayed a sautoir with a tassel pendant and, from the 1950s, a bracelet of four twisted gold ropes ending with a tassel.

Among them, jewels once owned by Elizabeth Taylor: pieces linked to her spectacular love affair with Richard Burton while the 1963 film "Cleopatra" was filmed in Rome, as well as a diamond and emerald necklace that he presented to her for their 1964 wedding and a sautoir featuring a 65-carat sapphire pendant for her 40th birthday, in 1972.

During its free fall the sautoir behaves like an acrobat jumping from one trapeze to the next without the trapezes touching each other ("sautoir" comes from the French verb sauter, which means to jump). All the wheels (including gears and sautoir) have therefore the same size and weight independently of the capacity of the machine. Pascal used gravity to arm the sautoirs. One must turn the wheel five steps from 4 to 9 in order to fully arm a sautoir, but the carry transfer will move the next wheel only one step.

The sautoir The sautoir is the centerpiece of the pascaline's carry mechanism. In his "Avis nécessaire...", Pascal noted that a machine with 10,000 wheels would work as well as a machine with two wheels because each wheel is independent of the other. When it is time to propagate a carry, the sautoir, under the sole influence of gravity,Guy Mourlevat, p. 17 (1988) is thrown toward the next wheel without any contact between the wheels.

The upper positions the entire receiving mechanism in its proper place. During the third phase the sautoir, which no longer touches the active wheel, adds one to the receiving wheel.
|
|
During the second phase, the sautoir and the two wheels are completely disconnected. #The kicking pushes the pin on the receiving wheel and starts turning it. The upper is moved to the next space. The operation stops when the protruding hits the .

The three phases of a carry transfer operation The carry transmission has three phases: #The first phase happens when the display register goes from 4 to 9. The two carry pins (one after the other) lift the sautoir pushing on its protruding part marked (3,4,5). At the same time the kicking is pulled up, using a pin on the receiving wheel as guidance, but without effect on this wheel because of the top . During the first phase, the active wheel touches the one that will receive the carry through the sautoir, but it never moves it or modifies it and therefore the status of the receiving wheel has no impact whatsoever on the active wheel.

Sandeen, Eric J. Picturing An Exhibition: The Family of Man and 1950s America. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1995. Nora Dumas died on 23 May 1979 at her home the Pension du Sautoir d'Or in Genthod, Switzerland.

Jean d'Alesso (1513–72) was the first known seigneur of Éragny. He was treasurer of the constable Anne de Montmorency (1492–1567) and adviser of King Charles IX of France (1550–74). His descendant François d'Alesso d'Éragny, marquis d'Éragny, was appointed governor general of the American islands in 1690. Their family insignia, "d'azur au sautoir d'or cantonné de quatre limaçons d'argent", was the model for the town's current one.

A diagonal cross (decussate cross, saltire, St. Andrew's Cross) A saltire, also called Saint Andrew's Cross or the crux decussata, is a heraldic symbol in the form of a diagonal cross, like the shape of the letter X in Roman type. The word comes from the Middle French sautoir, Middle Latin saltatoria ("stirrup").Heraldic use 13th century (attested 1235, Huon de Méry, Tournoiemenz Antecrist, v. 654). In 1352 also of a particular form of stirrup (Comput. Steph.

The price was 1,375,000 francs, to be paid in four instalments until 1924. At the time, large jewelry had not excited Marie's interest; she preferred to wear a Greek cross or, when she attended the Paris Opera, her pearls. However, the sapphire sautoir (jewel chain) was an ideal match for the sapphire tiara she had bought from Russian exile Grand Duchess Vladimir. She wore them both at her coronation receptions and when sitting for her portrait by Philip de László.

This moist-heat cooking method uses a sautoir or other shallow cooking vessel, heat is transferred by conduction from the pan, to the liquid, to the food. Shallow poaching is best suited for boneless, naturally tender, single serving size, sliced or diced pieces of meat, poultry or fish. This preparation involves smearing the inside of the pan with whole butter and adding aromatics into the pan. The items to be cooked are then placed on top of the aromatics presentation side up.

Thus much extra energy is accumulated during the arming of a sautoir. All the sautoirs are armed by either an operator input or a carry forward. To re-zero a 10,000-wheel machine, if one existed, the operator would have to set every wheel to its maximum and then add a 1 to the "unit" wheel. The carry would turn every input wheel one by one in a very rapid Domino effect fashion and all the display registers would be reset.

Detail of the carry mechanism and of the sautoir Input wheel The calculator had spoked metal wheel dials, with the digit 0 through 9 displayed around the circumference of each wheel. To input a digit, the user placed a stylus in the corresponding space between the spokes and turned the dial until a metal stop at the bottom was reached, similar to the way the rotary dial of a telephone is used. This displayed the number in the windows at the top of the calculator. Then, one simply redialed the second number to be added, causing the sum of both numbers to appear in the accumulator.

Where the French form is used, a problem may arise as to the appropriate adjectival ending, determined in normal French usage by gender and number. The usual convention in English heraldry is to adhere to the feminine singular form, for example: a chief undée and a saltire undée, even though the French nouns chef and sautoir are in fact masculine. Efforts have however been made, for example by J. E. Cussans, who suggested that all French adjectives should be expressed in the masculine singular, without regard to the gender and number of the nouns they qualify, thus a chief undé and a saltire undé.

Arms of the family of Maumont : azur, au sautoir or flanked byy four towers argent maçonnées sable In 1306, King Philip the Fair concluded an agreement with the heirs of Geraud Maulmont (or Maumont), a noble Limousin family who owned Saint-Julien-Maumont. Tournoël Châteauneuf and part of the lordship of Cébazat were exchanged for strategic places between Limousin and Périgord, such as Bourdeilles, Chalus Chabrol, Châlus Maulmont (both located in the present town of Chalus), to better counter the English domain of Aquitaine and thus strengthening the border. Pierre de Maumont officially became lord of Tournoël on 12 February 1313. He died in 1345 and had only one daughter, Martha, who took the castle to her husband, Gerald, lord of Roche Limousin.
