He often used blancs roulants (rough movements) supplied to him by the well-known makers Holingue frères as well as those from Japy frères, the latter usually having a sweep seconds hand. In circa 1847 Bolviller went into partnership with the well-known escapement maker Celestine Phillipe Gontard with whom he was awarded a patent in the following year for a detent escapement, the patent registered at the Gontard address 12 rue St, Hyacinthe, St. Honoré, whereas Bolviller is recorded working at rue Vendome 12 at this time. The partnership would seem to have ended in 1851 and Moïse Bolviller died in December 1874. * Note Reference Leigh Extence Early Carriage Clocks Pub. NAWCC May 2019
