Henri Jacot Of Paris, France - Clockmaker.

He and his nephew (also Henri Jacot) worked in Paris from 1822 to 1900. They were famous carriage clock makers --probably the best of the Paris producers of carriage clocks towards the end of the 19th century--

Henri Jacot died on July 31 in 1868. His nephew Henri Jacot became his successor in the business. The quality of their carriage clocks was always outstanding. The company closed in 1920
