Lot 26: ERIC DE COULON (1888-1956)Revue.

ERIC DE COULON (1888-1956)
Revue.
Swiss posterist de Coulon first studied architecture in Zurich, then moved to Paris where, in 1918, he opened his own advertising agency. He produced many fine travel posters for French and Swiss clients alike, with the interweaving of picture and lettering as something of a trademark. And though it's for a classic Revue wristwatch instead of the tourist trade for which he works his alphabetical interspersion, the result is classic Coulon in this fine Swiss object poster. Only a few firms in the Swiss watch industry can look back on such a long tradition as Revue Thommen. Founded by Gedeon Thommen in 1853, Revue Thommen developed into one of the leading companies in this sector. In the early days, only wristwatches and pocket watches were produced. However, around 1920, the firm also decided to produce instruments for the aviation industry, which over time became among the leading products in the aviation industry. Their wristwatches were produced for many years in La Chaux-de-Fonds and many United States presidents were proud wearers of their Cricket-model watch.
