    Style
    Art Deco - Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style which had its origins in Paris in the first decades of the 20th century. The style originated in the 1920s and continued to be employed until after World War II. The term "art deco" first sawwide use after an exhibition in 1966, referring to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes that was the culmination of high-end style modern in Paris. Led by the best designers in the decorative arts such asfashion, and interior design, Art Deco affected all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including architecture and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as painting, the graphic arts and film. At the time, this style was seen aselegant, glamorous, functional and modern.

    Style specifics
    Abstract motives and geometrical forms are quite typical for the Art Deco period. Art Deco moved away from the soft pastels and organic forms of its style predecessor, Art Nouveau, and embraced influences from many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism,and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s. Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purelydecorative.

  • Sobre artista

    Léon Hatot (1883 – 1953) foi um empreendedor apaixonado: inventivo, inovador e acima de tudo progressista. Uma criança de seu tempo, na verdade, fascinada pela aplicação dos mais recentes materiais e técnicas.

    O empresário e ourives Léon Hatot visitou a École d'Hologerie em Besançon de 1895 a 1898 e depois a École des Beaux Arts, também em Besançon. Ainda muito jovem, instalou-se em Besançon em 1905 como empresário independente e especializou-se na gravação de caixas de relógios.

    Ele logo estabeleceu uma oficina para relojoeiros e joalheiros em Paris também. Aqui, auxiliado por um grande número de artesãos, ele fabricou relógios de alta qualidade, usando metais preciosos especiais. Naquela época, Hatot era um dos poucos a fabricar relógios e joias. Fornecia-os às casas comerciais mais importantes da Rue de la Paix, em Paris.

    Curioso e de olho no futuro, Hatot logo se interessa pela aplicação da eletricidade em relógios. Em 1920, isso resultou no estabelecimento de um departamento para pesquisar e desenvolver relógios movidos a bateria. Desde 1923, os relógios elétricos Hatot são vendidos sob a marca ATO nos sites de Paris e Besançon.

    A partir do momento em que esses relógios apareceram no mercado, eles foram um sucesso retumbante. Durante a 'Exposition international des arts décoratifs', Hatot foi premiado com um 'Grand Prix' por todo o seu programa de relógios elétricos. A característica de seus modelos era que eles eram alojados em mármore, metal cromado, madeiras refinadas ou caixas de vidro processado das famosas fábricas Lalique.

    Por causa do design decorativo desses relógios, Hatot é capaz de estabelecer um nome no mundo do relógio como 'mestre do período Art Déco'. Sua contribuição para o mundo científico também é grande. Graças ao seu espírito criativo e visionário e às suas inúmeras invenções, Hatot conseguiu levar os desenvolvimentos no campo dos relógios a um nível superior até e incluindo o segundo quartel do século XX. A França recompensou-o por isso com o mais alto prêmio nacional, a 'Légion d'Honneur'.

    Em 1931, na Exposição Colonial de Paris, Léon Hatot apresentou uma série de relógios elétricos compactos que marcaram o início de uma nova geração de relógios decorativos. Ele rompeu completamente com a tradição atual em que as caixas serviam de decoração e fez o próprio relógio chamar a atenção. Desta forma, Hatot tornou-se um criador de tendências para uma nova tendência da moda.
