PROVENANCE
Private collection, Lyon.

Passionate collector in particular, by all mechanics. He had acquired some very beautiful clocks, music boxes, gusseted watches, old model trains etc....
He loved his "Pierrot" which he operated for the pleasure of his guests. He was also passionate about classical music, which he could only listen to on very high quality audiophile equipment.
