Unfortunately not.
But I did find ONE interesting advertisement from 1913 which I will give to my watchmaker who specializes in electrical movements and who’s really a geek.
The ad says « You will be the master of time » with Brille’s electrical clock, sold by “J.Auricoste, Watchmaker to the State Navy and the Observatory of the Bureau of Longitudes.”
“Unlimited warranty”.

·I’m cheating a bit here are it’s not art deco.
Not really art nouveau either but someone here perhaps will help characterize it?
A lovely 1920s enameled Mido ladies watch which @Lucasssssss very kindly gifted — bless his generous heart. Some pictures are mine, a number are his.

It looks a bit simplistic for Art Nouveau but still has some flower/leaf elements in the bezel.
Possibly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement which was, at the time (1930s'ish) in decline as Art Deco was flourishing.

·Chicago World’s Fair lamp reflected in my Seiko. The flower frog may be older than the Art Deco period. The mug qualifies, I believe. Stove clock just looked like it belonged in the photo, so I left it.

A touch of art nouveau and I also love that jug, even though its patterns feel like they are from a later, post-war era I really like it!👍

·Of course it is now temporarily closed but when Italy re-opens if you get to Milan I highly recommend a visit to the beautiful Casa Museo Boschi / Di Stefano which I was fortunate to get to a few weeks ago just as the proverbial was starting to hit the fan there with the Coronavirus. The museum is located in an apartment inside a 1930's apartment building and has approx 300 20th century works by Italian artists. It's well off the usual tourist track and entry is free.

Some photos of the building, apartment and artworks....

Sorry, that is NOT "Art Deco". That is "Streamline". Art Deco is that other poster's pocket watch with the enamal and elaborite decoration.
If there is no elaborate decoration, especially nature themes, it is NOT ART DECO.
Ahem.
