JAZ - the success of the 1930's

As early as 1924, Jaz began exporting clocks not only to other clock producing countries in Europe, but also to the Americas and to the Far-East. As its reputation grew, so did the number of models as well as technical improvements of the mechanical movements. Until 11930, most of its clock models were round clocks in brass, chrome or small square ladies clocks in the same materials. Then in the early 1930's, aa new material came onto the market that would revolutionize manufacturing: Bakelite. As Jaz preferred to customize its components, it named the bakelite used in its model Jazolite. Coinciding with new casings was the new major technical advancement of an 8 - day movement to replace the 30 hour movement. New clocks now only required winding every week instead of every day. New alarm clock models began filling the shelves and Jaz strongly promoted the idea of a clock in every room in the house including the kitchen.

Every model produced came in different dials, with luminous or non luminous hands but the same finish that could be kept pristine with a simple wipe of a cloth.

 

 

In 1934 they produced a large mantle sized clock using a new type of movement that was almost silent and did not include an alarm . The Silentic had something unique: a tiny triangle in the  12 indicating that the clock needed to be wound when it showed red.

While bakelite was widely used in a large selection of clocks, other materials (brass, chrome and porcelaine) continued to be utilized in an ever expanding line of models.

 

The Romic (left) was one of the most popular models. Its use of shiny chrome, the semi-circular design, the 'beehive' hands and the luminous numbers appealed to the Art Deco style.

 

With its expanding markets, Jaz began print advertising and to distinguish it from its competitors, most of its ads were in black and red on a white background.

 

 

Jaz was the leader in the number of styles, models and overall sales until WWII, when materials became rarer and workers were drafted into military service.

Until 1941, all Jaz clocks had the word JAZ stamped on the dial above the 6.

 

When the Third Reich invaded France, the Nazis objected to the use of the word JAZ because it was interpreted as a symbol of 'decadent American music'. To circumvent their objection (and possible closure of the production plants) the directors explained that the name JAZ referred to a small bird, the Jaseur Boréal and bore no relation to the music. As a result, all clocks manufactured after 1942 had a little bird stamped above the Jaz name. The bird's tail was directed downward and this was used until 1967, when the bird's tail was then directed upward.

 

After 1975, the bird disappeared and the name JAZ now appeared under the number 12.

Le style Art Déco a profondément marqué Paris et sa région dans les années 1920 et 1930. A l’occasion de l’exposition « 1925, quand l’Art Déco séduit le monde » que vous présente la Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine du 16/10/13 au 17/02/14, découvrez les mystères de ce mouvement artistique d’ampleur internationale.

Quelle est la  différence entre Art nouveau et Art déco ? La confusion est très  fréquente. Même les amateurs d’art s’y perdent parfois. Et pourtant, le second  succède au premier et reste aussi différent de son prédécesseur que le fauvisme  l’était du cubisme. L’Art nouveau est l’art de la fin du XIXe siècle  et du tout début du XXe. C’est l’art de la Belle Epoque, des  courbes, de l’ornementation, des plantes, des fleurs, des décors aux mille  détails, des couleurs et des vitraux. L’Art  déco vit son apogée dans les années 1920. C’est l’art des Années folles, du  modernisme, de la symétrie et de la sobriété. Concrètement, c’est l’art des  angles, des pans coupés, des cercles, des arrondis et des octogones.

L’Art nouveau, ce sont donc les entrées et sorties du métro  parisien d’Hector Guimard ou les constructions folles de Gaudi. Alors que l’Art déco, c’est la rigueur du Chrysler  Building à New York ou du Palais de  Tokyo à Paris. Ce style, qui tire son nom de l’Exposition internationale des  arts décoratifs et industriels modernes qui eut lieu à Paris en 1925, est le  premier à avoir eu une diffusion mondiale, touchant d’abord l’Europe, puis tous  les pays anglo-saxons ainsi que plusieurs villes chinoises telles que Shanghai.  Lieux culturels, de spectacles, cinémas, piscines, habitations, magasins,  restaurants, jardins… Paris  Île-de-France fourmille de lieux emblématiques de ce courant artistique !

Promenez-vous donc dans les rues de la capitale française et  de sa région, vous y verrez alors les caractéristiques architecturales de l’Art  déco autour de la Tour Eiffel (Palais de  Chaillot, Palais de Tokyo…), des Grands Boulevards (les Folies Bergère, le Grand Rex…) ou de quartiers plus populaires  (dans le 18e arrondissement : le Louxor, la piscine des amiraux). En quittant Paris, vous pourrez  admirer les cités-jardins du Pré-Saint-Gervais, le Palace, à Beaumont-sur-Oise, ou  le Musée des années 1930, à  Boulogne-Billancourt. Laissez-vous transporter et ouvrez grand les  yeux, car en Art déco, tout est magique et monumental !
