Clémence became the new company's chairman, and the firm supplied a variety of different watches and timers to the military, particularly the Admiralty, from their offices in 30 Ely Place, London.The Ordnance Q.F. (quick firing) 13-pounder field gun was the standard equipment of the British Royal Horse Artillery since the outbreak of World War I.

As its maximum range was around 6000 yards, the dial calibration for distance on this example stops at 6500.Although long obsolete as a military weapon, 13 pounders are still in use today by the King's troop RHA, primarily for ceremonial duties and as saluting guns.
