For an extensive essay on this eminent maker, and illustrations of similar cases, see Charles Allix, Carriage Clocks Their History and Development, ACC, 1974, pp. 54-57., where similar cases are illustrated as early as 1834 (p.56) and “post 1848” (p.62). It is stated that the term “H’ER [HORLOGER] DU ROI” would not have been used after the 1848 transition from Monarchy to Empire, and that from 1852 “H’ER DU MARINE” was in use. A similar clock numbered 1968 was sold by Bonhams, New Bond Street, 15th December 2004, lot 56.
