Probably attributed to Denis Masson, a renowned 18th-century Parisian clockmaker whose speciality was clocks adorned with porcelain and chiselled bronze. His collaborators included Jean-Baptiste Vallée (caster), Foullet and Lieutaud (cabinetmakers), and the latter’s name appears alongside Masson’s in the signature on the dial.
Condition report: The watch is not in working order. There are chips and cracks on the dial.
