 Leon Hatot Jewelry
House is presented as the legendary brand, exclusive jewelry known all over the
world, and the brand setting trends in the world of watch haute couture. The Christie's
auction offers hundred thousand Euros just for the draft of watches made by
Leon Hatot, the brand founder, a hundred years ago, as appropriate for the true
art works.
In 1911 a young man, named Leon
Hatot, completed the watch making school and moved to Paris from the native Châtillon-sur-Seine.
He started his professional career when he purchased the label of one of the
popular manufacturers of watches, jewelry and style items, that is Bredillard, and
started production of his own things under this shop mark. Now we consider this
as kind of profound franchising. Besides, Monsieur Hatot manufactured
timepieces, jewelry items and various luxury stuff for well-known Houses in
France, like Louis Cartier, Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels.
Leon Hatot was
called «scientific artist» for his passion to inventions and search of new
technologies, and he spent the most of his wristwatch Rolls with the
self-winder, one of inventions by Hatot. In 1925 Hatot was awarded Grand Prix at
the World Decorative Art Exhibition in Paris
where art-deco was announced as the new phenomenon. In 1928 году Hatot manufactured the unique
watches Ato-Radiaola that were invented to pick up radio waves. He manufactured
electrical watches decorated with precious stones in absolute style of jazz and
at the same time another invention of his was made in classic style. Hatot was awarded
Legion of Honor for his merits to France.
After the World
War II the Jewelry House intended to decline when people were not much
concerned in elite artworks and jewelry. In 1953
Leon Hatot died.
He left the
archive of the «scientific artist» containing thousands of drafts and sketches.
This archive appeared in the bank safes for several decades.
Only in
1999 Swatch Group Company appreciated the striking heritage by Leon Hatot that
matched innovative ideas, classic lines of jewelry masterpieces. Leon Hatot brand
gained the second breathe.
By the
lapse of time banks gave to the attention of public the magic sketches and
drawings belonging to Leon Hatot, the sketches showing Egyptian and Chinese
plots, complicated color gamut, watches presented as accessories and many other
items to really attract attention of people.
Currently the
goods manufactured as Leon Hatot brand goods are made by the same sketches that
were kept in bank safes for loads of dozen of years. By the way, this hermit
did not cause any damage to them. Yet, they are still genuine and demanded, and
besides, they are elegant, delicate and astonishingly beautiful.
Leon Hatot watches
are characterized with the sliding lid that makes it as the accessory for daily
and evening use. All jewelry of this House is decorated with precious stones.
Thus, Envol des Sens is decorated with the rare blue tourmaline Paraiba, the exotic stone of the tropic sky color. Leon
Hatot Jewelry differs with their romantic delicacy and such gift is the best to
confirm love without any words. The solutions for romantic gifts appear to be jewelry
from J'aime collection that is perceptive, stylish and beautiful, the same as
true love. The collection is presented as seven wonderful and unique rings that
are special with their inimitable performance and brilliant design by the Leon Hatot
Jewelry House.
By the by,
the number 7 has always been the number that symbolized good luck and success
of Leon Hatot Jewelry House. This is proven by the fact that seven prominent
women of the early XX century inspired Leon Hatot to create the most luxury and
wonderful jewelry, including Amy Jo Johnson, Louise Brooks, Isadora Duncan, Josephine
Baker, Lina Cavalieri, Renée Perle and mysterious muse Elza.
Even today
Leon Hatot jewelry is made in traditions founded by the brand establisher. It
