Description
A good late 19th century French gorge cased repeating carriage clock Henri Jacot, no.10545 The case with rippled handle over a large glazed inspection panel, and repeat button, revealing the large silvered lever platform and compensated bi-metallic balance, white enamel Roman and Arabic dial with blued-steel spade hands and alarm setting dial. The twin train movement striking and repeating on a coiled blued steel gong, the backplate stamped and numbered. Ticking and striking, together with an associated leather travel case. 18cms (7ins) high. Footnotes: Henri Jacot was born in 1796 to a horological family in Fontaines, Switzerland and by 1817 was recorded to be assisting his father in the workshop. Around 1823 he had left Switzerland and settled in Paris, where he would remain for the rest of his life. By 1833 he is listed in a Paris trade register as making both carriage and table clocks. As he got older, starting around 1853, it seems that more rough movements were bought in; the most complicated being from Louis Baveaux in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. Baveaux was also present at Jacot's deathbed, being one of the witnesses to sign his death certificate in 1868. After his death, Henri's brother, Julien, seems to have taken over the business, being listed in 1873 as living in Henri's house and being a 'Proprietor'. After this date Julien's son, Albert, apparently took over the majority of the business; unlike his father he is referred to as a horologist on his marriage certificate of 1873. Both Julien and Albert had a tendency to use Henri as their first name, either hyphenated, i.e., Henri-Julien Jacot, or simply as Henri Jacot, which has, historically, confused the actual Henri Jacot's biography. Julien Jacot died in 1892. The last mention of the business is in a 1925 advert for pendules de voyage. Albert Jacot died in 1926.
