Buyer unknown. Clock, unnumbered, sold before 1780. Gilt bronze and marble striking mantle clock with calendar. Notes History: This clock was made before the records, currently preserved by Maison Breguet, were begun. It is therefore impossible to give an exact date of sale, price or the name of the buyer. Note: The signature "Breguet à Paris" was not used after 1791, and at the time this clock was produced Breguet, along with Jean Antoine Lépine, were practically the only watchmakers in Paris to use Arabic numerals on the dials. Literature: Illustrated and described in the 5th Edition of Tardy: La Pendille Française, Part Two, p. 57.
