Notes

Atelier Albert Prévost At the time this clock was made, Cartier's clock movements were all made by the atelier Prevost. All the major Parisian jewelers called on the Prévost workshop for the design and execution of their most magnificent desk clocks. The movements were supplied mostly by Majestic Watch Co.
