Description from the seller
French watch manufacturing
Julien Le Roy in Paris
At the age of thirteen, Le Roy built his first grand clock. In the same year (1699), he moved to Paris to begin his apprenticeship. In 1713, he earned his master's degree, and in the following years, he became a member of the Paris Guild of Clockmakers. In 1739, he was appointed Court Clockmaker (French: Horloger Ordinaire du Roi) to Louis XV. Examples of his clocks can be found in various museums around the world, including the Louvre and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
An unusually rare Oignon verge clock in a silver case with a quarter repeater on the case, a magnificent white enamel dial, and a solidly crafted case. Finely crafted.
