AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very high-quality Empire clock with a beautifully patinated bronze figure of Father Time on a red rouge marble base, signed by Charles Oudin Élève de Breguet.
Charles Oudin: Charles Oudin is one of the oldest French clockmaking firms. It was established in Paris at the end of the 18th century by Jean-Charles (known as Charles) Oudin, who came from a family of clockmakers in Northwest France. There were four generations of Oudins who were clockmakers from the mid-18th century, first in the Meuse region and later in Paris. Several members of the Oudin family worked for master horologist and clockmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet.
Charles Oudin, the best known member of this clockmaking dynasty, founded his company towards the end of the 18th century and dedicated himself to luxury and precision clocks and watches. The first watches signed "Charles Oudin, élève de Breguet" (Charles Oudin, pupil of Breguet) date from 1797. In 1805 he made a repeating à-tact watch for Empress Josephine. By participating in the major exhibitions of the period, he stood out; at the Exposition des produits de l’industrie française in 1806 he received an honorable mention for a self-winding watch. At the Exposition des produits de l’industrie française in 1819 he received a citation for a comparison watch.
This clock is in very good condition, runs well, and it comes with a key.
