Notes

This model of glass clock is perhaps one of the most impressive of the Hatot range of circa 1930. In this model of clock the visible movement is also nickle-chromed and forms part of the decoration of the piece. This clock is first documented in the photograph of the Hatot stand at the Foire de Paris, 1930.
