專家說明
This desk clock by Hermès is closely related to the designs of the French designer and architect Paul Dupré-Lafon (1900-1971).
Dupré-Lafon’s genius was to link the Art Deco and and modernist movements with his refined creations that were produced to appeal to a rich clientèle. A champion of craftsmanship and excellence, he used luxurious materials combined with stone, leather or chromed steel to create bold contrasting effects.
The present clock has a distinctly contemporary feel even today and is the perfect objet de luxe for the desk or table.
