Beautiful ATO glass transparent electric pendulum, Art Deco, France, Circa 1930

About the Item

Exceptional electric pendulum (powered by a standard round battery LR14) Art Deco transparent glass with nickel-plated round case on a base also three-storey glass. The dial, typically Art Deco, is transparent and leaves apparent in a double circle of circles the movement of the electro-magnetic balance. The hands are geometric shapes, characteristic of the period and documented models of Léon HATOT. The clock is signed «Ato». It is in good condition, works and comes out of a revision by a professional watchmaker. ATO is a prestigious watchmaking brand founded by Léon Hatot (1983-1953), it was formed at the Ecole Nationale d'Horlogerie de Besançon from 1895 to 1898; it was only in 1905 that it launched into the production and engraving of watch cases made of precious metals. Between 1918 and 1919 is built the factory of the "factory of clock industry and jewellery" specialized in the clock industry of luxury. In 1923, he became interested in possible developments in watchmaking and then collaborated with the engineer of Arts and Crafts Marius Lavet, a graduate of the Ecole supérieure d'Electricité. He then began manufacturing electric clocks and clocks, marketed under the brand Ato from 1923. Two years later in 1925, he won the Grand Prix for decorative art. Léon Hatot is considered one of the pioneers of high-end electric clocks.
