René LALIQUE (1886 - 1945), attributed to ATO - House founded by Léon HATOT (1883 - 1953) Very rare clock offered for the maiden voyage of the liner Normandie in 1935. Round in moulded bluish glass, with central decoration of the liner's bow on a bas-relief sunburst background. Around the dial, the capital letters NORMANDIE mark the hours. The whole rests on a glass base in the shape of waves.
