The present clock is an excellent example of the collaboration between Omega and the top designers of the day. René Lalique is widely recognized as one of the greatest glassmakers to have ever worked in France and his pieces have come to epitomize French Art Deco. The information concerning this clock is drawn from Félix Marcilhacs "Catalogue Raisonné de loeuvre de verre de R. Lalique" Les éditions de lamateur Paris 1994 ref. 735 p. 374. The model was created on February 10 1931 and was illustrated in the 1932 catalogue.
