(handle up) 15cm. handle down.*Biography Pierre Drocourt, born 1819 & son Alfred, born 1847, were one of the top maker's of carriage clocks in the mid-to-late Victorian period, having a factory at Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont as well as premises in Paris at Rue Debelleyme 28; previously named Rue de Limoges prior to 1867. They were awarded numerous medals at exhibitions, such as the Bronze Medal at Paris 1867, the Silver at Paris 1878 and the gold at Paris in 1889. Alfred succeeded his father Pierre in circa 1871 following the latter's retirement.* Notes Jean-Francois and the younger Louis Holingue worked in the clockmaking town of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont producing the rough movements for a number of well-known makers including Paul Garnier, Athanase Bourdin and Bolviller. The brothers sold their workshops and equipment to Alfred Drocourt in 1875, having supplied Drocourt for a number of years to be finished in Paris.* Notes The three Bovet brothers Frederick (born 1786), Alphonse (born 1788) and Edouard (born 1797) set up workshops in Canton in 1830 which proved too large due to outside circumstances including the ongoing Opium Wars and a smaller operation was set up in Macau. By 1864, following the death of the last of the three brothers, the company, now possibly being run by their nephew Louis Bovet, sold their interest to another Fleurier business run by Jules Jequier and Ernest Bobillier, who were soon joined by Ami Leuba, and continued to retail clocks under the Bovet name.* Notes Reference Leigh Extence Pierre & Alfred Drocourt: An Exhibition of Carriage Clocks Pub.

He was an important maker who may well have acted as a journeyman for Justin Vuilliamy and was taught the art of jewelling by his friend the chronometer maker Thomas Earnshaw.

William Frodsham died in 1807 having outlived his son, the clockmaker William the younger born 1755, by 18 months and with whom he formed the partnership William Frodsham & Son in 1779.
