Historical Context: Leon Hatot was a renowned French jeweler and watchmaker, who founded the Leon Hatot brand in 1920. Initially focused on fine jewelry, Hatot eventually expanded into watchmaking, becoming famous for creating some of the most exquisite timepieces of the Art Deco period. The brand quickly became a favorite among high-society clients, with a reputation for innovation and artistic design. Leon Hatot watches were known for their elegant, sophisticated designs, often featuring the blending of precious metals and gemstones. One of the key aspects of the brand was its innovative use of electric clocks and watches, particularly its work with pendulette électrique (electric pendulum clock technology) and Baguette watches for women. These timepieces not only embodied cutting-edge technology but also exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Vers collection from Leon Hatot is part of the legacy that continues the brand's tradition of elegant and refined watchmaking. Watches from this collection often showcase Hatot's signature Art Deco aesthetic, with strong geometric shapes, clean lines, and the luxurious use of diamonds, gold, and other high-end materials. The Vers watches feature the craftsmanship and aesthetic flair that the Leon Hatot brand is known for, making them timeless pieces that appeal to collectors and connoisseurs of fine watches. Today, the Leon Hatot brand is part of the Swatch Group, one of the largest watchmaking companies in the world, ensuring that the legacy of the brand continues to thrive through their high-end collections. The Art Deco period (1920s-1930s) was marked by a fascination with modernity, luxury, and the use of bold geometrical designs. This watch, with its clean lines and octagonal form, exemplifies the aesthetic ideals of the time, blending function and form into a piece of wearable art. Provenance: The Christie’s Geneva auction catalogue from 1989 highlights this watch in Lot 57. Condition: The watch is pre - owned, minor signs of usage, good and pleasant condition overall.
