- The Clock "Les Deux Colombes": Created by René Lalique in 1927, this clock beautifully showcases Lalique's artistic talent in glassmaking and jewelry. Its elegant and romantic design features two intertwined doves, symbolizing peace and love, adding a symbolic and emotional dimension to the piece. René Lalique was renowned for his innovative use of glass and precious materials, making his creations outstanding examples of Art Deco. The "Les Deux Colombes" clock, made of opalescent white molded-pressed glass with patina and color, perfectly demonstrates Lalique's ability to marry art and functionality. - The ATO Clock Mechanism: ATO was a French brand specializing in electric and mechanical clock movements, founded by Léon Hatot in the early 20th century. ATO movements were known for their reliability and innovation, primarily used in high-quality clocks and pendulums. Léon Hatot created the ATO brand using his initials (A. T. O.) and developed electromechanical movements widely used at the time. The ATO brand gained international recognition for its innovations and was associated with the Art Deco style, earning a reputation for excellence in horology.
