NOTE:

Paul Follot (French, 1887-1941) served as the Director of Pomone, the design and decorating department at Le Bon March department store from 1923–1928. The design for this clock was likely executed under his direction at the Pomone studio by Albert Guenot. Guenot went on to become the Director of Pomone after Paul Follot and Rene Prou.
