H. Baille. It is noted he was active in Paris between 1777 and 1789. The dial is also signed by Joseph Coteau (1740-1801), one of the most important émailleurs of this period, who executed enamelled dials and decorative plaques for clocks of significance. The mounted figures are after those by Louis-Simon Boizot, sculpteur du roi, who became Director of Sculpture at Sèvres in 1773 until his death in 1809. He is renowned for producing some of the firm's most important recorded works whilst working against a backdrop of turmoil and upheaval. A similar clock of the same period also mounted with Sèvres soft paste figures resides in the Royal Collection, formerly at Carlton House in the Prince of Wales's Dressing Room, RCIN 30118.

London Gazette, 23rd July 1948 - DECORATIONS CONFERRED BY HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT OF BELGIUM, Officer of the Order of the Crown – Lieutenant-Colonel (temporary) Leslie Alexander Longmore HUMPHREYS, O B E. (108305), Special List (Substituted for the announcement made in the London Gazette No 38288, dated 14th May, 1948).Leslie Alexander Francis Longmore Humpreys was born in Budapest on 4th July 1904, the only son of Richard John Edward Humphreys and his wife Elizabeth Agnes Lyons. His father taught English in Budapest later becoming commercial secretary at The Hague, Budapest and Bucharest. Leslie studied at Cardinal Vaughan School and Stonyhurst College then spent a year at Faculté des Lettres in Dijon before moving to Magdalene College, Cambridge. He gained a 3rd class in modern languages in 1925 and a lower 2nd in part two of the history tripos in 1926. By this point he was virtually trilingual in French, German and Romanian.In early 1939 he joined section D of the British Secret Service, the predecessor of the Special Operations Executive making 2 operational trips to the Netherlands and 1 to Poland before the outbreak of war. In September he was sent to Paris with the rank of Major to liaise with the French Fifth Bureau, planning sabotage lines from Paris and later a sabotage network inside falling France.He was evacuated on 20th June 1940 and on the formation of the SOE in July 1940 he became head of its F Section, charged with organising subversion in France. His main principle was that communications are the essential basis of all clandestine work. In December he was moved over to work on clandestine communications (DF Section), a task well suited to his abilities. He visited Lisbon twice during the winter of 1940/41 to investigate reported lines for passing letters, parcels and people into France. Unimpressed by what he found he decided to construct links of his own designing the blueprint of a system that would serve SOE throughout Western Europe for secret travel and secret supply. His first agent landed in France in April 1941 ultimately Humphreys was responsible for establishing SOE’s biggest and best escape line.A strong administrator with a firm belief in maintaining secrecy, he kept his people inconspicuous, and this was the main reason for his DF Section’s run of successes. The effectiveness of his process was demonstrated when one of his ‘lines’ was penetrated by the German Abwher in 1943 and none of the 11 arrested sub-agents provided any exploitable information to the German forces.DF’s methods were sometimes unorthodox, by passing regular, approved channels in order to deliver results. The results of his section were remarkable with several hundred passengers carried without loss and the carrier’s casualty rate of 2 per cent was by far the lowest of any of SOE’s French sections. By the end of the war, he had attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.Post War he returned to the business world but in 1950 he accepted an opportunity to serve in the Foreign Office spending time in Frankfurt, Pusan (South Korea), Vienna and finally London. In 1964 he retired and joined the staff at Stonyhurst Preparatory School until his second retirement in 1973 when he moved to Bexhill where he lived until his death on 19th December 1976.
