Electromagnetic Clock - leon hatot - Brass - 1940-1950 - ATO

This watch model is a wonderful example of the work of Leon Hatot, winner of the Grand Prix at the 1925 Paris International Exhibition. Extremely rare to find, this piece is in working condition, with only very slight signs of its nearly 75 years of age. Its maker and inventor, Leon Hatot, studied at the Besançon School of Watchmaking from 1895 to 1898, and then at the city's School of Fine Arts. In 1905, he opened a shop in Besançon and devoted himself to the production and engraving of watch cases in precious metals. In 1911, he moved to Paris and took over the “Maison Bredillard,” while retaining his workshop in Besançon. Starting in 1919, he founded a company to produce battery-powered watches. In 1923, he began producing ATO clocks with Marius Lavet. In 1925, Hatot won the Grand Prix at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts with a series of Art Deco electric clocks. He was appointed a Knight of the Legion of Honour. Hatot was one of the founding members of the Société française chronométrique. Léon Hatot S.A. is now part of the Swatch Group. The watch will be shipped in a padded wooden case, and you will receive a timestamped video confirming that it is running properly before dispatch.
