Biography
Biography
In 1919, following a trip to the United States, he designed and initiated production of the “Électricar”, a lightweight, three-wheeled, one-person electric automobile. However, only 250 units were sold, as the market demanded vehicles with internal combustion engines. Simultaneously, he relaunched his horological business, focusing primarily on the production of alarm clocks and timers. In 1925, the business went bankrupt and subsequently shut down.
The recorded working language is French.
