Adam actually had two sons, both of whom worked at Rue Neuve des Petits Champs from circa 1812, the same address from where the father is recorded working from 1772, they presumably continued his business and would’ve used the same casemaker. There is known a white marble and bronze clock entitled Femme Couronnée par un Amour, signed L’Echopié à Paris, that sold in 1913 for 8,800 francs, presumably by the father, Adam. * A near-identical clock, although signed Bassot à Paris, is illustrated and described in the Encyclopedie de La Pendule Francaise, by Pierre Kjellberg.
