Trained as an architect, he brought a creative impetus to the international Art Nouveau movement.
As early as 1902, he began to focus on the industrial aesthetic. In 1903, he founded with a Parisian architect, René Dulong, the company "Serrurier et Cie". From 1903 to 1907, the company produced its most beautiful creations.
The clock known as a mill created during this period presents logical forms of geometric construction, rational and functional, brightened up by bright colours. One finds in this small masterpiece the symbolic allusions of its creator.
