F. Goyer, maître in 1740.
Edmé-Jean Causard, horloger privilégié du Roi, circa 1753.

This clock is close to the so-called Chantilly hunting model, designed by Clouzier around 1750, and executed by order of the Duc de Condé for his Château de Chantilly. Louis XV also commissioned one for Versailles.
